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.

Deschutes anchors Oregon's outdoor-recreation economy around Bend, and its rapid in-migration of remote workers and retirees has flipped a once reliably Republican county to a consistent Democratic lean by double digits.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 50.6 points in 1936 and a Republican high of 29.8 points in 1924. Between 2020 and 2024 the county moved 2.2 points toward the Democratic candidate; the 2024 margin was 10.4 points.
A population of 206,334, a 84% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $92,758 describe the county. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Nevada County and Jefferson County.
