All counties along NC coast, are getting less rural in nature. A lot of new comers there. When you pick out the shift in declining rural east NC, you go further inland coastal plains. Halifax, Edgecombe, Nash, etc. even Pitt county with ECU sitting there. Each has less total votes than 4 years ago.

On the booming coast, Even in Brunswick county on the other end of the coast, which showed a slight shift BLUE in percentage, Harris lost a whole lot more votes than Biden 4 years ago.

BTW, back in DKE days I mentioned the TWO coasts of North Carolina, the uplifting bluffs around Wilmington to SC, and the gradually sinking swampier OBX (or their population centers IBX). It seems the new retirees flowing there are different as well. Those to Wilmington areas are much more in the middle leaning slightly red, showing as a lot of NPA new registrations. Those to OBX are adding almost purely R registrations.
