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.

Gibson County's R+51.4 presidential margin in 2024 places it among Indiana's most heavily one-sided rural counties. Its economy centers on agriculture and a major coal-fired power station, anchoring a working-class demographic with little urban counterweight.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 28.2 points in 1964 and a Republican high of 51.4 points in 2024. Between 2020 and 2024 the county moved 3.2 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 51.4 points.
A population of 33,000, a 90% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $67,573 describe the county. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Richland County and Knox County.
The counties whose fingerprint — 2000–2024 trajectory, demographics, ancestry, religion — sits closest to this one, and why.
