Cobb county is not becoming blue because of demographics. As another poster pointed out it’s likely the college educated younger people like myself.

- joshuamorton 4y agoIt can be both. (If you overlay the precinct-level results from https://s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/cobbcounty.org.if-us-west-2/prod/2020-11/03Nov2020-SOVC%20Official%20and%20Complete.pdf https://s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/cobbcounty.org.if-us-west... on a demographic map, it becomes apparent that the more educated parts of Cobb are redder than the less educated parts. This correlates basically perfectly with the less white vs. whiter parts). I'm from Smyrna originally and lived there for the majority of my life. East Cobb (although it is purpleish, not just red, and that is due to college education) is redder than Smyrna/Marietta, despite being much more educated.
- wil421 4y agoI’m from East Cobb and live here currently. There’s been a big change from 2000, starting in 2016. 2020 highlighted the shift.[1] I don’t think it’s race related if I look at the demographic changes in the past few censuses. East Cobb has always been more conservative and they have a senior population who’s not changing views.
