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.

Randolph County sits in the rugged Allegheny Mountains of central West Virginia, where a shrinking population and a decades-long shift away from Democratic voting produced a 46-point Republican margin in 2024.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 45.7 points in 1964 and a Republican high of 46.1 points in 2024. Between 2020 and 2024 the county moved 2.6 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 46.1 points.
A population of 27,576, a 90% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $52,757 describe the county. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Cherokee County and Taylor County.
