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.

Moffat sits in Colorado's remote northwestern corner, where a coal-dependent economy and sparse, rural population have produced Republican presidential margins exceeding 60 points in recent cycles — among the widest in the state.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 21.1 points in 1932 and a Republican high of 67.9 points in 2016. Between 2020 and 2024 the county moved 0.8 points toward the Democratic candidate; the 2024 margin was 62.8 points.
A population of 13,207, a 77% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $73,849 describe the county. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Lake County and Weston County.
