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.

Tucked in the Allegheny Highlands with no incorporated towns, Craig County posts some of Virginia's widest presidential margins — its sparse, rural electorate has backed the Republican nominee by 60-plus points in recent cycles.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 49.6 points in 1912 and a Republican high of 64.4 points in 2024. Between 2020 and 2024 the county moved 2.9 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 64.4 points.
A population of 4,856, a 96% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $69,057 describe the county. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Wirt County and Maries County.
The counties whose fingerprint — 2000–2024 trajectory, demographics, ancestry, religion — sits closest to this one, and why.
