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.

Shelby County, anchored by the small city of Sidney, delivered an R+64.8 margin in 2024 — among the widest gaps in the state — reflecting the deep rural and small-town conservative consolidation that has reshaped Ohio's political map over the past decade.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 31.7 points in 1964 and a Republican high of 64.8 points in 2024. Between 2020 and 2024 the county moved 1.6 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 64.8 points.
A population of 47,929, a 92% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $73,978 describe the county. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Auglaize County and Perry County.
