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.

Webster County's R+62.2 margin in 2024 reflects the broader realignment of rural Ozarks communities toward overwhelming Republican dominance, a shift that has deepened steadily over the past two decades as the region's small-town and agricultural base consolidated politically.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 15.3 points in 1932 and a Republican high of 62.2 points in 2024. Between 2020 and 2024 the county moved 2.0 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 62.2 points.
A population of 40,500, a 91% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $71,155 describe the county. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Grant County and Lawrence County.
