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.

Home to Warrensburg and the University of Central Missouri, Johnson County sits at the edge of the Kansas City metro but votes decidedly differently — its 2024 presidential margin of R+39.6 reflects deep rural Republican strength despite a sizable college-town presence.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 25.9 points in 1912 and a Republican high of 40.7 points in 1972. Between 2020 and 2024 the county moved 2.8 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 39.6 points.
A population of 54,732, a 84% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $67,272 describe the county. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Adair County and Pulaski County.
