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.

Pierce County sits on Wisconsin's western edge across from the Twin Cities metro, drawing suburban and rural residents whose voting patterns have trended Republican by double digits over the past decade despite the county's proximity to a major Democratic urban center.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 31.7 points in 1964 and a Republican high of 70.6 points in 1920. Between 2020 and 2024 the county moved 3.8 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 16.7 points.
A population of 42,584, a 91% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $92,109 describe the county. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of St. Croix County and Nicollet County.
