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.

Washington County's D+43 margin in 2024 reflects the outsized influence of Montpelier's government and university workforce on a county of fewer than 60,000 residents, making it one of the most reliably Democratic jurisdictions in New England.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 46.1 points in 2020 and a Republican high of 59.4 points in 1924. Between 2020 and 2024 the county moved 3.1 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 43.0 points.
A population of 60,017, a 91% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $83,449 describe the county. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Addison County and Bennington County.
