Ideological self-segregation may only be accelerating in these inflationary, post-Roe times.

30% of Americans surveyed said they’ve thought about moving in the past six months.

Abortion rights, racial equality and LGBTQ protections were much more likely to influence Democrats’ decision-making, while Republicans were more likely to be motivated by a search for lower taxes.

The big picture: Politics isn’t the main reason people consider moving to another state. The biggest drivers are more likely to be economic reasons, like cost of living and jobs, or personal or family reasons, the poll found.

Black and Hispanic Americans were more likely than white Americans to say they’d been thinking of moving states.

But if people are considering a move, they’re also likely to think about which states reflect their political and social values — whether through state laws or how new neighbors might view the world.
