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.

Kemper County's electorate is majority Black, a demographic reality that has kept it reliably Democratic in presidential races even as surrounding rural Mississippi counties trend sharply the other way. Its sparse population of roughly 10,000 amplifies the weight of turnout swings.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 98.9 points in 1936 and a Republican high of 83.9 points in 1964. Between 2020 and 2024 the county moved 6.4 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 16.9 points.
A population of 8,729, a 33% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $46,431 describe the county. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Calhoun County and Jefferson Davis 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.
