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.

Hanover sits at the northern edge of the Richmond metro and has delivered double-digit Republican presidential margins for decades, with the 2024 gap widening past 25 points as population growth has not softened its conservative lean.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 75.3 points in 1916 and a Republican high of 58.9 points in 1984. Between 2020 and 2024 the county moved 1.1 points toward the Democratic candidate; the 2024 margin was 25.7 points.
A population of 112,879, a 81% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $112,805 describe the county. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Williamson County and Oldham 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.
