by relative I mean compared to the national average.

Could this be it?

Miller County, GA:

1960:
Kennedy   94.7%
Nixon 5.3%

Kennedy by 89.4. Nationwide was Kennedy was 0.17. 89.23 points more Democratic than the national average

1964:
Johnson   14.2%
Goldwater 85.8%

Goldwater by 71.6. Nationwide was Johnson by 22.58. 94.18 more Republican than the national average.

That's a shift of 183.41 points and since that's out of 200 (since you have 100 on each side), it means there was a 91.705% shift!
