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.

Ozark County's R+70 presidential margin in 2024 places it among the most Republican-leaning counties in the state, a pattern consistent with the deeply rural, Ozark-plateau communities that anchor its sparse population of fewer than 10,000.
Across the recorded series it reached a Republican high of 70.0 points in 2024. Between 2020 and 2024 the county moved 1.9 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 70.0 points.
A population of 8,873, a 94% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $44,163 describe the county. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Wayne County and Douglas County.
