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.

Charles County's transformation from a conservative rural county to one of Maryland's most Democratic—driven by suburban growth and a majority-Black population now exceeding 45%—makes it one of the clearest examples of exurban demographic realignment on the East Coast.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 49.1 points in 1912 and a Republican high of 36.0 points in 1972. The 2024 margin was 40.5 points.
A population of 170,527, a 32% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $122,816 describe the county. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Suffolk city and Chesapeake city.
