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.

Waupaca's mix of small manufacturing towns and agricultural townships has produced some of Wisconsin's most consistent rightward shifts over the past decade, with 2024's R+33.4 margin nearly doubling its 2012 spread.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 22.9 points in 1932 and a Republican high of 74.2 points in 1920. Between 2020 and 2024 the county moved 1.6 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 33.4 points.
A population of 51,569, a 92% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $72,830 describe the county. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Shawano County and Oconto County.
