Arrivals reported $63,585 in average income, against $82,436 for residents who stayed — 23% lower. (IRS SOI, 2022–23)
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.

Kittson sits on Minnesota's northwestern edge along the Canadian border, where wheat and sugar-beet agriculture dominates the landscape and has anchored Republican margins exceeding 20 points in every presidential race since 2008.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 48.0 points in 1936 and a Republican high of 69.4 points in 1904. Between 2020 and 2024 the county moved 4.5 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 25.0 points.
A population of 4,084, a 93% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $76,100 describe the county. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Steele County and Sargent County.
The counties whose fingerprint — 2000–2024 trajectory, demographics, ancestry, religion — sits closest to this one, and why.
Twin score (0–100) = weighted cosine between tier-standardized fingerprints: presidential margins 2000–2024 with 12-yr trend and elasticity, ACS income, age, education, population and race, top reported ancestries, and religious adherence — chips name the closest-shared dimensions and the widest gap.
