[21-October-2020] |
SANTA CLARA, Calif., Oct. 21, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Ahead of the upcoming election, a new survey from realtor.com® found that while most Americans want to live where their views are in the majority, younger Americans (18-34 year-olds) have an even stronger desire for a like-minded political community and are more likely to move based on their political preferences. According to the data, 61% of younger respondents feel strongly or somewhat strongly about living in a community with similar beliefs and 48% would consider moving to make this happen. During the second half of September, realtor.com® and YouGov surveyed 2,000 Americans about their political views, whether those views impact where they want to live and their likelihood of moving based on the outcome of the election. "Younger Americans tend to be more connected to political causes they believe in, and typically have more flexibility when it comes to moving around and trying out different places to live. Our data shows that being surrounded by people with similar political beliefs is important to this group and will likely play a part in where they eventually decide to settle down," said George Ratiu, senior economist, realtor.com®. "One reason older respondents may be less inclined to relocate is because they live in a place that they feel best meets their needs and feel connected to their community." Election results could lead to more people moving
Younger Americans are more inclined to let political views influence where they live
Majorities in both parties seek to align with their communities
