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.

Effingham sits on Savannah's northwestern fringe, where rapid suburban spillover has brought new residents without meaningfully shifting its lopsided Republican presidential margins, which topped 49 points in 2024.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 94.4 points in 1912 and a Republican high of 72.9 points in 1972. The 2024 margin was 49.1 points.
A population of 69,143, a 73% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $88,438 describe the county. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Walton County and Jackson County.
