Chickasaw is one of a number of eastern Iowa rural counties that voted Democratic in 7 straight presidential elections -- from 1988 to 2012.   Obama won the county by 11.1 percentage points in 2012.  Four years later, Trump flipped it in dramatic fashion with a 23 percentage point margin, then went on to boost it to 31.3 percentage points in 2016.

Iowa Public Radio, 10/11/2021
Chickasaw County, next over to the northwest, had 12,012 people in 2020, 427 fewer than in 2010. I lived in that county in my teen years. Fredericksburg, from where I graduated from high school 50 years ago, had 987 people in 2020, up 56 from 2010. New Hampton, where I lived before Fredericksburg, had 3,494 people in 2020, down 77 from 2010.
