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.

Suffolk's vast land area — the largest by square miles among Virginia's independent cities — combines working farms and wetlands with expanding residential development, producing a majority-minority electorate that has leaned Democratic by double digits in recent cycles.

Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 72.3 points in 1936 and a Republican high of 23.6 points in 1972. Between 2020 and 2024 the county moved 1.5 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 15.8 points.

A population of 98,796, a 46% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $92,666 describe the county. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Charles County and Chatham County.
