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.

Essex County sits in the remote Northeast Kingdom, where a sparse, rural population and a logging-era economy have produced some of Vermont's widest Republican presidential margins in recent cycles.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 38.1 points in 1964 and a Republican high of 52.1 points in 1904. Between 2020 and 2024 the county moved 4.7 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 15.9 points.
A population of 5,982, a 93% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $59,294 describe the county. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Coos County and Orleans County.
