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.

Canyon County's Treasure Valley growth has made it one of Idaho's most populous counties, yet rapid in-migration has barely dented a presidential margin that exceeded 46 points in 2024, signaling strong partisan self-sorting among arrivals.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 58.2 points in 1896 and a Republican high of 53.1 points in 1928. Between 2020 and 2024 the county moved 6.9 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 46.6 points.
A population of 250,790, a 67% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $76,488 describe the county. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Twin Falls County and Elko County.
