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.

Somerset's sprawling interior landscape — logging towns, potato farms, and a shrinking manufacturing base — has tracked toward increasingly lopsided Republican margins over the past decade, with 2024's R+27.1 result among the widest in the state.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 40.3 points in 1964 and a Republican high of 54.2 points in 1924. Between 2020 and 2024 the county moved 3.9 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 27.0 points.
A population of 50,959, a 94% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $58,179 describe the county. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Oxford County and Piscataquis County.
