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.

Brooks County sits in Georgia's wiregrass region, where a declining population and an agricultural economy have pushed presidential margins steadily rightward over the past decade and a half.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 89.7 points in 1932 and a Republican high of 58.2 points in 1972. Between 2020 and 2024 the county moved 6.1 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 26.8 points.
A population of 16,293, a 53% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $46,807 describe the county. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Madison County and Meriwether County.
