The reasons are primarily economic, not political. Expectations about how certain demographics will vote due to their proximity to immigration issues haven't exactly panned out the way some presumed they would in recent elections.

Wow... Columbia is the cheapest of the three but the most overpriced... I never thought I would see the day that the AVERAGE home price in Columbia is nearly $250k! I bought my first starter home which was brand new but cheaply built for $94K and I thought that was too much back in 2002. Same house is now worth around $200k. It will be interesting if things reset...but high inflation and interest rates may mean it may not...
