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.

Accomack sits on Virginia's isolated Eastern Shore peninsula, separated from the mainland by the Chesapeake Bay. Its economy anchors on agriculture and seafood, and its relatively large rural Black population makes it one of the more demographically complex counties in the region.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 79.1 points in 1912 and a Republican high of 45.3 points in 1972. Between 2020 and 2024 the county moved 3.9 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 13.3 points.
A population of 33,335, a 58% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $58,993 describe the county. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Northampton County and Mecklenburg County.
The counties whose fingerprint — 2000–2024 trajectory, demographics, ancestry, religion — sits closest to this one, and why.
Twin score (0–100) = weighted cosine between tier-standardized fingerprints: presidential margins 2000–2024 with 12-yr trend and elasticity, ACS income, age, education, population and race, top reported ancestries, and religious adherence — chips name the closest-shared dimensions and the widest gap.
