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.

A population of 15,216, a 82% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $117,111 describe the county. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Fluvanna County and Dare County.
