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.

Marquette County anchors Michigan's Upper Peninsula with a university town at its core — Northern Michigan University's enrollment shapes a younger, more educated electorate that has kept the county reliably center-left even as surrounding U.P. counties moved sharply rightward.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 35.9 points in 1964 and a Republican high of 71.4 points in 1904. Between 2020 and 2024 the county moved 2.4 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 8.7 points.
A population of 67,112, a 91% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $65,429 describe the county. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Berkshire County and Chittenden 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.
