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.

Rutland County's gradual partisan shift mirrors broader changes across Vermont's rural interior, where an influx of out-of-state transplants and a shrinking manufacturing base have redrawn old voting patterns over the past two decades.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 29.8 points in 1964 and a Republican high of 58.9 points in 1896. Between 2020 and 2024 the county moved 5.2 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 5.2 points.
A population of 60,425, a 93% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $68,616 describe the county. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Essex County and Bennington County.
