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.

Hill County sits along Montana's northern rail corridor, anchored by Havre, and has shifted steadily toward Republican margins over the past two decades despite a Native American population that historically offsets statewide trends.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 60.0 points in 1936 and a Republican high of 20.8 points in 1920. Between 2020 and 2024 the county moved 4.6 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 18.2 points.
A population of 16,155, a 67% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $52,798 describe the county. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Blaine County and Roosevelt County.
