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.

Wilson County has nearly doubled in population since 2000 as Nashville sprawl pushes east, yet its presidential margins have widened alongside that growth, bucking the suburban moderation seen in many Sun Belt metros.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 70.6 points in 1936 and a Republican high of 44.1 points in 2016. Between 2020 and 2024 the county moved 2.4 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 40.1 points.
A population of 158,805, a 79% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $95,839 describe the county. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Sumner County and Limestone County.
