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 County, anchored by the watermen's economy of Crisfield and Princess Anne, delivers some of Maryland's widest Republican presidential margins despite sitting in a reliably Democratic state — a gap driven by its rural, working-class coastal demographics.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 26.1 points in 1912 and a Republican high of 37.8 points in 1928. Between 2020 and 2024 the county moved 2.5 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 17.3 points.
A population of 24,822, a 51% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $64,943 describe the county. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Nottoway County and Lunenburg County.
The counties whose fingerprint — 2000–2024 trajectory, demographics, ancestry, religion — sits closest to this one, and why.
Twin score (0–100) = weighted cosine between tier-standardized fingerprints: presidential margins 2000–2024 with 12-yr trend and elasticity, ACS income, age, education, population and race, top reported ancestries, and religious adherence — chips name the closest-shared dimensions and the widest gap.
