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.

Jefferson County sits at West Virginia's northeastern tip, drawing Washington, D.C.-area commuters whose arrival has kept its presidential margins closer than the state's overwhelming statewide Republican lean—though 2024's R+15.7 result suggests that gap is narrowing.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 50.8 points in 1932 and a Republican high of 26.8 points in 1972. Between 2020 and 2024 the county moved 5.3 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 15.8 points.
A population of 59,260, a 80% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $98,806 describe the county. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Porter County and Fluvanna 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.
