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.

Union County anchored Arkansas's oil boom from the 1920s onward, and El Dorado remains its economic center. That extractive-industry heritage tracks closely with the county's strong Republican lean in recent cycles, with 2024 margins exceeding 33 points.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 90.3 points in 1932 and a Republican high of 54.0 points in 1972. Between 2020 and 2024 the county moved 4.0 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 33.5 points.
A population of 37,900, a 59% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $55,259 describe the county. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Columbia County and Ouachita County.
