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.

Douglas County, anchored by Superior and its union-heavy port economy, gave Democrats a 5-point margin in 2024 even as much of rural Wisconsin moved sharply right — a remnant of the Iron Range–style labor politics that once defined the western Great Lakes.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 53.7 points in 1964 and a Republican high of 57.4 points in 1904. Between 2020 and 2024 the county moved 4.0 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 5.3 points.
A population of 44,229, a 90% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $75,099 describe the county. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Carlton County and St. Louis 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.
