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.

Anchored by Chambersburg in the Cumberland Valley, Franklin County delivers some of the widest presidential margins in the state, with its agricultural economy and small-city demographics producing consistent double-digit Republican advantages that have deepened each cycle since 2008.

Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 17.6 points in 1964 and a Republican high of 68.2 points in 1928. The 2024 margin was 43.0 points.

A population of 157,379, a 84% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $77,003 describe the county. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Perry County and Augusta County.
