In recent years, young Americans moved to rural areas at rates not seen in decades. But that doesn't mean they're turning rural counties red.
Even Hays County, Texas - the only county in that group that voted Democratic in both 2020 and 2024 - got more red, as seen in the table below.
Rural areas moved right, and big cities like New York got substantially redder between 2020 and 2024, said economist Jed Kolko.
The people who leave big blue cities probably don't have the same politics - or don't have exactly the same politics - as people who stay.
