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.

Home to Charlotte, Mecklenburg has shifted from a competitive suburban county into one of the state's most lopsided presidential jurisdictions, posting a 32.7-point Democratic margin in 2024 on the back of rapid in-migration and a majority-minority population.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 76.4 points in 1912 and a Republican high of 38.7 points in 1972. Between 2020 and 2024 the county moved 2.4 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 32.7 points.
A population of 1,154,681, a 43% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $87,005 describe the county. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Fulton County and Guilford County.
