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.

Lamar County, tucked between Atlanta's outer suburbs and Georgia's rural Black Belt fringe, turns in some of the state's most lopsided presidential results despite a population barely topping 15,000.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 90.3 points in 1932 and a Republican high of 46.9 points in 1972. Between 2020 and 2024 the county moved 4.8 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 45.9 points.
A population of 19,571, a 66% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $67,062 describe the county. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Wheeler County and Wilcox County.
