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.

Traverse County sits at Minnesota's western edge along the South Dakota border, with a population under 5,000 spread across flat glacial-lake terrain. It has backed Republican presidential candidates by wide margins for over two decades, reflecting broader rural depopulation trends in the region.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 61.7 points in 1932 and a Republican high of 55.9 points in 1904. Between 2020 and 2024 the county moved 4.2 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 31.6 points.
A population of 3,243, a 84% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $62,989 describe the county. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Swift County and Grant 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.
