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.

A population of 18,493, a 68% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $46,651 describe the county. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Wayne County and Jeff Davis County.
