Gen Zers Shifting Locations for Access to Reproductive Rights
Gen Z Prioritizes Reproductive Rights in Housing Decisions
SEATTLE--(NASDAQ: RDFN) — A notable trend has emerged among younger generations as they consider relocating. Recent research reveals that seven percent of Gen Z individuals planning to move soon attribute this decision to seeking a location where abortion is legal and accessible. Millennials are also joining this movement, with five percent expressing similar motivations. This insight comes from a comprehensive survey conducted by Redfin, a technology-driven real estate brokerage, exploring the factors influencing housing choices.
Widespread Desire for Legal Abortion Access
Across all surveyed age demographics, over half of the respondents indicated a preference for residing in regions where abortion remains legal. Millennials led this sentiment with 59% advocating for such a living environment, closely followed by Gen Z and Gen X, both with slightly over half in favor. Interestingly, baby boomers, with 50% in alignment, showed a stark contrast, as 30% expressed a preference to avoid areas where abortion is accessible.
Political Perspectives on Abortion Access
When analyzing opinions based on political views, a diverse picture arises. Among individuals who plan to support Donald Trump in the upcoming presidential election, 35% desire to reside in a place where abortion is legal, while 45% do not share this inclination. In contrast, a substantial 75% of those supporting Kamala Harris express the desirability of living in such regions, with only 13% against it. Furthermore, among Trump voters, 4% cite the legality of abortion as a reason for moving, outpacing the 6% of Harris supporters who share that rationale.
Fertility Treatments Also Influence Housing Decisions
In addition to abortion access, the demand for fertility treatments plays a crucial role in housing decisions. About two-thirds of both millennials (64%) and Gen Zers (66%) prefer living in areas with easy accessibility to IVF and related fertility services. This preference extends to older demographics as well, with 60% of Gen Xers and 54% of baby boomers expressing similar desires.
Understanding Political Affiliation's Impact on IVF Accessibility
Examining IVF access through a political lens reveals distinct preferences. A solid 52% of Trump voters want to live where fertility treatments are readily available, compared to only 15% who oppose this. Conversely, an overwhelming 75% of Harris supporters seek out these options, while a mere 10% do not.
The Impact of Recent Legal Changes
The legal landscape surrounding reproductive rights has shifted dramatically following the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade in 2022. This ruling has intensified the importance of choosing a state to call home, as legality varies widely across the country. Kamala Harris supports federal protection for abortion rights, while Donald Trump's stance appears less clear-cut, oscillating between backing a national abortion ban and advocating for state-level governance of the issue.
The findings from this Redfin-sponsored survey, conducted in partnership with Ipsos, drew responses from 1,802 individuals aged 18-65 in September. Participants were asked about their motivations for moving in the coming year and the significance of living in states where abortion access is guaranteed.
