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.

Perry County's R+60.4 margin in 2024 places it among the most heavily one-sided counties in the state. Its small, rural population of roughly 12,000 reflects the broader demographic pattern of deep-south piney woods counties with limited urban centers.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 95.8 points in 1936 and a Republican high of 72.8 points in 1964. Between 2020 and 2024 the county moved 7.4 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 60.4 points.
A population of 11,449, a 77% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $49,634 describe the county. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Smith County and Casey County.
