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.

Union County sits northwest of Columbus and has absorbed significant suburban spillover growth, yet its presidential margins have remained consistently above R+25 since 2000, suggesting new residents skew toward the county's existing political profile.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 5.4 points in 1912 and a Republican high of 56.3 points in 1984. Between 2020 and 2024 the county moved 1.9 points toward the Democratic candidate; the 2024 margin was 29.6 points.
A population of 67,324, a 85% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $112,322 describe the county. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Carroll County and Oldham 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.
