But they\u2019re much more likely to be open to the idea of moving to a place where they\u2019d be in the racial, ethnic or religious minority, with just 22 percent saying they\u2019d be hesitant about it.\u00a0<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s according to a June Redfin-commissioned survey of more than 3,000 U.S. residents who bought or sold a primary residence in the last year, or plan to in the next 12 months.

As more people\u2014especially young professionals\u2014head inland from blue coastal cities seeking affordability in smaller inland metros, it\u2019s likely they will seek out communities where they\u2019ll live, work and send their kids to school with like-minded people.

Nearly half of homebuyers and sellers\u201446 percent\u2014would be neutral at the prospect.\u00a0<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Broken down by age, 23 percent of respondents aged 25 to 34 would be enthusiastic about moving to an area where most residents do not share their political views, a higher share than any other age group.
