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.

Tucker County's rugged Allegheny highlands and shrinking population mirror a broader Appalachian shift: its 2024 presidential margin of R+48.9 reflects decades of realignment in coal-country communities with fewer than 7,500 residents.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 33.9 points in 1964 and a Republican high of 51.8 points in 2016. Between 2020 and 2024 the county moved 0.6 points toward the Democratic candidate; the 2024 margin was 48.9 points.
A population of 6,654, a 97% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $53,358 describe the county. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Cherokee County and Ashe County.
