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.

Holmes County, anchored by the Delta town of Lexington, posts presidential margins exceeding 60 points Democratic — driven by a population that is roughly 80% Black, a demographic legacy of the Delta's plantation-era labor geography.

A population of 16,191, a 15% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $32,538 describe the county. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Noxubee County and Perry County.
