Nearly 1 in 10 Gen Zers Who Plan to Move Soon Cite Abortion Access as a Reason: Redfin Survey

Most homeowners and renters want to live in a
place where abortion is legal, with some survey respondents
indicating they’re moving to a different area to live somewhere
abortion is legal and accessible
(NASDAQ: RDFN) — Seven percent of Gen Zers who plan to move soon
say one reason is to live in a place where abortion is legal and
accessible, and one in 20 (5%) millennials say the same thing,
according to a new report from Redfin (redfin.com), the
technology-powered real estate brokerage.
At least 50% of respondents across every generation said they
want to live somewhere abortion is legal, with millennials leading
the way; 59% said they want to live in such a place, followed by
just over half of both Gen Zers and Gen Xers, and exactly half of
baby boomers (note that the oldest baby boomers surveyed were 65).
Baby boomers and Gen Xers were mostly likely to say they don’t want
to live somewhere abortion is legal (30% each).
Overall, 54% of respondents want to live in a place where
abortion is legal, compared to 28% who don’t want to.
Broken down by political affiliation, more than one-third (35%)
of respondents who plan to vote for Donald Trump in the upcoming
presidential election want to live in a place where abortion is
legal, while 45% of Trump voters don’t want to live in such a
place. Three-quarters (75%) of Kamala Harris voters want to live in
such a place, and 13% don’t want to.
Four percent of Trump voters say they’re moving soon because
they want to live in a place where abortion is legal, and 6% of
Harris voters say the same thing.
The U.S. Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade in 2022
means the legality of abortion differs from state to state. For
some Americans, that has made the decision about which state to
live in more important than it used to be. Kamala Harris promises
to federally protect abortion rights, and Donald Trump’s view is
murkier; he has expressed support for some version of a national
abortion ban, but has also said the issue should be left to the
states.
Two-Thirds of Young People Want to Live in an IVF-Friendly
Place
Roughly two-thirds of millennials (64%) and Gen Zers (66%) want
to live in a place where IVF and other fertility treatments are
easily accessible. Most older respondents also want to live in a
place where IVF is accessible: 60% of Gen Xers want to, and 54% of
baby boomers.
Broken down by political affiliation, most Trump voters (52%)
want to live somewhere IVF and other fertility treatments are
accessible, compared to 15% who don’t want to. Three-quarters (75%)
of Harris voters want to live in such a place; 10% don’t want
to.
Access to fertility treatments has become a hot button issue as
at least one state has effectively ended access to IVF, and other
states have introduced legislation to do something similar. Trump
and Harris have both said they support access to IVF.
The survey findings in this report are from a
Redfin-commissioned survey conducted by Ipsos in September 2024.
The survey was fielded to 1,802 people aged 18-65. It focuses on
two questions, one asking respondents why they’re likely to move in
the next year, and one asking about the importance of living in an
area where abortion is legal.
