Of Wisconsin's 72 counties, Green Lake County ranks 5th in the percentage of votes for Trump in 2020.
The last tiome Green Lake County voted Democratic was in 1964.
In 2020, almost every rural county in the state voted for Trump. Many counties registered two Trump votes per Biden vote, similar to the sum total of the suburban Milwaukee WOW counties of Waukesha, Ozaukee and Washington.
That's a far cry from 1992, when most rural Wisconsin counties voted for then-Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton over Republican President George H.W. Bush.
[Don't put too much stock in this; third-party candidate Ross Perot corralled 8.4% of the vote nationally and 14.8% in Green Lake County.]
Today, about 30% of Wisconsinites live in rural areas and rural millennials are fleeing to population hubs, according to Malia Jones, a social epidemiologist at UW-Madison's Applied Population Laboratory.
[Green Lake County's current population of 19,018 and is 91.7% white, compared to 81% in Wisconsin and 60% nationally. Percentage of residents 65 and older is 22.5% compared to 17.5% in Wisconsin and 16.5% nationally.]
Green Lake County vaccination rate is 9 percentage points lower than the statewide rate of 64%.
