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.

Cumberland sits in Virginia's rural Piedmont with fewer than 10,000 residents, and its 2024 presidential margin of R+22.2 reflects a long-running pattern of lopsided results in low-density counties west of Richmond.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 87.1 points in 1912 and a Republican high of 26.8 points in 1988. Between 2020 and 2024 the county moved 7.2 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 22.1 points.
A population of 9,818, a 64% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $55,325 describe the county. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Conecuh County and Tensas Parish.
