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.

Home to Battle Creek and a legacy of cereal and defense manufacturing, Calhoun County voted Democratic as recently as 2012 but has swung roughly 20 points toward Republicans over the past three presidential cycles.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 26.8 points in 1964 and a Republican high of 61.4 points in 1928. Between 2020 and 2024 the county moved 3.0 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 14.0 points.
A population of 133,778, a 75% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $63,177 describe the county. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Muskegon County and Genesee County.
