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.

Putnam County, anchored by Greencastle and DePauw University, still posts some of the widest Republican presidential margins in the state despite hosting a liberal-arts campus — a pattern common to small Indiana counties where rural precincts dominate the overall tally.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 28.3 points in 1912 and a Republican high of 52.0 points in 2024. Between 2020 and 2024 the county moved 1.8 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 52.0 points.
A population of 37,280, a 91% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $78,378 describe the county. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Clay County and Carroll County.
The counties whose fingerprint — 2000–2024 trajectory, demographics, ancestry, religion — sits closest to this one, and why.
