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.

Frederick County sits at Virginia's northwestern gateway, where exurban growth from the D.C. corridor meets longstanding rural conservatism. Its 2024 margin of R+28.4 reflects a pattern of deepening Republican strength that has held across multiple election cycles.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 60.0 points in 1912 and a Republican high of 56.0 points in 1984. Between 2020 and 2024 the county moved 0.9 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 28.3 points.
A population of 95,008, a 77% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $97,606 describe the county. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Hendricks County and Hancock County.
