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.

Home to Arkansas State University and a expanding manufacturing base, Craighead County has shifted steadily toward lopsided Republican margins even as its population grows — a pattern common to mid-sized Sun Belt college towns outside major metros.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 75.1 points in 1932 and a Republican high of 37.4 points in 2024. Between 2020 and 2024 the county moved 2.0 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 37.4 points.
A population of 113,249, a 71% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $59,548 describe the county. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Faulkner County and Gibson County.
