Arrivals reported $47,346 in average income, against $58,117 for residents who stayed — 19% 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.

Motley County sits deep in the Rolling Plains with roughly 1,400 residents, and its 2024 presidential margin of R+88.8 reflects the lopsided partisanship typical of sparsely settled West Texas ranching communities.

Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 92.5 points in 1932 and a Republican high of 88.8 points in 2024. Between 2020 and 2024 the county moved 3.2 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 88.8 points.
