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.

Ohio County anchors West Virginia's Northern Panhandle along the Ohio River, where Wheeling's working-class and retiree population has driven a sustained realignment away from its mid-century Democratic base over the past decade.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 27.6 points in 1964 and a Republican high of 31.0 points in 2016. The 2024 margin was 26.0 points.
A population of 41,582, a 90% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $57,094 describe the county. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Westmoreland County and Butler County.
