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.

Livingston County's R+46.3 margin in 2024 places it among the state's most lopsided presidential results, reflecting a predominantly rural, small-town electorate where agriculture and manufacturing have long anchored both the economy and voting patterns.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 9.6 points in 1912 and a Republican high of 52.5 points in 1920. Between 2020 and 2024 the county moved 2.2 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 46.3 points.
A population of 35,565, a 88% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $73,790 describe the county. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Warren County and Iroquois County.
