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.

Norton County's 2024 presidential margin of R+67.7 places it among the most lopsided rural counties in the state, a pattern consistent with its sparse, agriculture-dependent population on the High Plains.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 26.7 points in 1916 and a Republican high of 69.8 points in 2016. The 2024 margin was 67.7 points.
A population of 5,359, a 86% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $54,050 describe the county. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Major County and Kiowa County.
