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.

Baldwin County's Gulf Coast growth has drawn retirees and transplants without softening its Republican lean — the 2024 presidential margin of R+58 ranks among the widest in Alabama.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 64.2 points in 1936 and a Republican high of 81.1 points in 1964. Between 2020 and 2024 the county moved 4.2 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 58.0 points.
A population of 246,989, a 81% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $78,775 describe the county. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Nassau County and Hood County.
The counties whose fingerprint — 2000–2024 trajectory, demographics, ancestry, religion — sits closest to this one, and why.
