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.

Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 100.0 points in 1904 and a Republican high of 35.0 points in 1952. Between 2020 and 2024 the county moved 8.8 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 6.4 points.
A population of 18,254, a 41% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $44,711 describe the county. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Haywood County and Wilkinson County.
