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.

Rockingham County, anchored by Eden along the Virginia border, has shifted steadily rightward over two decades as its manufacturing-era Democratic base eroded; the 2024 presidential margin of R+35.8 reflects one of the sharpest realignments in the Piedmont region.

A population of 92,131, a 70% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $57,053 describe the county. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Henry County and Pittsylvania County.
