Migration is one input to a place’s political change, not its cause — a shift can also come from residents changing their minds, generational turnover, or turnout. These figures describe the places people moved between; they do not measure how any mover voted.

Covington's R+72.3 margin in 2024 places it among the most skewed rural counties in the Deep South, where a predominantly white, small-town population has shifted steadily away from competitive two-party contests over the past three decades.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 94.7 points in 1932 and a Republican high of 82.3 points in 1964. Between 2020 and 2024 the county moved 4.2 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 72.3 points.
A population of 37,628, a 82% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $52,456 describe the county. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Pierce County and Geneva County.
