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.

Hyde County's 2020 presidential margin of R+60.3 reflects a pattern common to the Great Plains' sparsely settled ranching counties, where fewer than 1,700 residents spread across open grassland produce some of the nation's most lopsided electoral results.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 33.1 points in 1912 and a Republican high of 61.1 points in 1904. Between 2020 and 2024 the county moved 5.3 points toward the Democratic candidate; the 2024 margin was 55.0 points.
A population of 1,191, a 86% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $73,472 describe the county. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of McPherson County and Campbell County.
