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.

Jefferson County sits along the Ohio River in southeastern Indiana, and its 2024 presidential margin of R+36 reflects a rural working-class electorate that has shifted sharply away from its historically competitive Democratic roots.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 16.3 points in 1964 and a Republican high of 36.1 points in 2024. Between 2020 and 2024 the county moved 2.5 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 36.1 points.
A population of 32,998, a 91% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $64,577 describe the county. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Schuyler County and Crawford County.
