Movement from costly West Coast cities has likely factored into the uptick in registered Democrats in Arizona and Nevada, while wealthy retirees moving to Florida and North Carolina could be contributing to the increase in registered Republicans in those states.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

People moving out of California to Arizona and Nevada\u2014including newly remote workers seeking more affordable homes\u2014could play a part in those swing states voting Democrat in this year\u2019s presidential election, while wealthy retirees moving from the Northeast to North Carolina and Florida could factor into potential Republican victories in those states. Arizona and Nevada are both classified as \u201clean Democrat\u201d and Florida and North Carolina are in the \u201ctoss-up\u201d category, per <\/span>NPR\u2019s electoral college map<\/span><\/a> as of October 9.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Arizona, where President Trump won by a margin of roughly <\/span>91,000 votes<\/span><\/a> in 2016, has gained 51,000 more registered Democrats than Republicans over the last four years.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Arizona has also added 49,000 voters registered with a party other than Democrat or Republican\u2014referred to as \u201cother\u201d throughout the rest of this report\u2014since the 2016 presidential election. That could benefit Democrats because Independent voters\u2014who make up a significant portion of \u201cother\u201d voters\u2014may be more likely to lean left this year: Joe Biden is leading by a <\/span>31-point margin<\/span><\/a> among Independents in Arizona, according to a recent poll, and he\u2019s also leading among Independents in <\/span>other states<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

From January to April 2020, a time period that spanned the Democratic primaries, the number of voters registered as Independent declined by more than 52,800 while the number of registered Democrats increased by nearly 48,500. That suggests many Independents switched to Democrat, which could also indicate that voters registered as \u201cother\u201d could be more beneficial to Democrats.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The increase in the number of Democratic voters in Arizona\u2014and Nevada\u2014is likely due in part to people moving in from liberal California, which lost a net 200,000 more residents to other states in 2019, <\/span>more than any other state<\/span><\/a>. Arizona saw a net increase of roughly 91,000 residents move in from other states in 2019, the third biggest net increase of any state. Nevada added about 43,000 such residents, seventh out of all states. We expect the net increase in 2020 to be even larger in both states.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Reno<\/a>, Las Vegas<\/a> and Phoenix<\/a> were the <\/span>most popular destinations<\/span><\/a> for people leaving California in 2018, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cArizona could <\/span>vote for the Democratic presidential candidate<\/span><\/a> for the first time since 1996, a flip that would be partly due to migrants priced out of liberal cities like San Francisco<\/a>, Los Angeles<\/a>, Seattle<\/a> and Chicago<\/a>,\u201d said Redfin economist Taylor Marr<\/a>. \u201cMigration into Arizona has accelerated this year, with more than 100,000 more new residents moving in than leaving for the first time in at least a decade. The trend is becoming larger now with the pandemic-driven work-from-home culture, which allows people the freedom to relocate to a more affordable state where they can find more spacious homes.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Nevada, which Hillary Clinton carried by <\/span>27,000 votes<\/span><\/a> in 2016, has gained 3,000 more registered Democrats than Republicans over the last four years. The state also added 96,000 \u201cother\u201d voters, made up mostly of a 73,000-person increase in Clark County (Las Vegas) and an 11,500-person increase in Washoe County (Reno). Both counties voted Democrat in the 2016 presidential election.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Redfin\u2019s migration data shows a similar trend as the Census: People leaving San Francisco and Los Angeles for Phoenix and Las Vegas<\/h4>\n

The Bay Area and Los Angeles are perennially <\/span>two of the top 10 places<\/span><\/a> Redfin.com home searchers are looking to leave\u2014largely due to expensive housing\u2014while relatively affordable Phoenix and Las Vegas tend to be the among the most popular destinations for Redfin.com users. Los Angeles was the most popular origin for people moving into both Phoenix and Las Vegas in the second quarter.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

More people migrate from blue (Democratic) to red (Republican) counties than vice versa; 6.5% more Americans <\/span>looked to move to red and swing counties<\/span><\/a> than to blue counties in the second quarter of 2020. The relative popularity of red and swing counties\u2014which tend to be suburbs, rural areas and small towns, versus the big cities than make up blue counties\u2014comes down largely to affordability: The typical home in the blue Los Angeles metro sold for $730,000 in September, versus $330,000 in the Phoenix metro (part of Maricopa County, which is a swing county).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMore people than ever are moving into Phoenix from expensive cities in California and Washington,\u201d said local Redfin agent Thomas Wiederstein<\/a>. \u201cThe pandemic has been a big driver, as people who can suddenly work from home are able to prioritize living in a place where they can get more indoor and outdoor space for their money, along with sunny weather. They seem to be a mix of conservative and liberal: Some of the people moving in appreciate that Arizona has been a red state for a long time, but others see the potential for a shift that seems to be on the horizon.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

As migrants move into Florida\u2014where there\u2019s no state income tax\u2014and North Carolina, the states see uptick in registered Republicans and \u201cother\u201d voters<\/h4>\n

The story is different on the East Coast, where movement from New York<\/a> and neighboring states to Florida and North Carolina\u2014partly made up of retirees and remote workers following the sunshine and affordability\u2014could contribute to a Republican win in those swing states. However, the picture in Florida and North Carolina is murkier than Arizona and Nevada due to the role of \u201cother\u201d voters.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Florida, which President Trump won by <\/span>113,000 votes<\/span><\/a> in 2016, has added roughly 97,000 more registered Republicans than Democrats in the last four years. Florida also added 319,000 \u201cother\u201d voters, with Miami<\/a>-Dade County, Palm Beach<\/a> County, Broward County (Fort Lauderdale<\/a>), Polk County and Orange County (Orlando<\/a>) picking up the most. All but Polk County voted Democrat in 2016.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe uptick in \u2018other\u2019 voters in Miami and Orlando could be a boon for Democrats because those cities are more liberal than other parts of Florida,\u201d Marr said. \u201cPeople who move to different areas often sort themselves by political views, with people who lean liberal moving to liberal places and conservative people moving to conservative places. That could mean \u2018other\u2019 voters in places like Miami and Orlando are more inclined to vote Democrat than Republican.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Forty-two percent of U.S. residents\u00a0 said they would be hesitant to move to an area where most residents have political views that differ from their own, according to a\u00a0 Redfin survey of more than 3,000 people fielded in October. That\u2019s up from 38% in June 2019 and 32% in June 2020.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Florida had nearly 134,000 more people move in from other states than leave in 2019, more than any other state, per the U.S. Census Bureau. That\u2019s partly due to the relative affordability of Florida, where there is no state income tax and the typical home is relatively inexpensive. Over 67,000 more people moved into North Carolina than out, a bigger net increase than every state but Florida, Texas and Arizona. Like in Arizona and Nevada, we expect the net increase in 2020 to be even larger in both states, based on Redfin\u2019s state-level migration trends. <\/span><\/p>\n

On the flip side, New York lost a net 181,000 residents to other states in 2019, more than any other state except California. The median September home price was $358,000 in Miami and $270,000 in Tampa, versus $550,000 in the New York metro.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe stream of retirees may be bigger than usual this year, as some people opt to <\/span>take early retirement<\/span><\/a> or <\/span>work from home ahead of retirement<\/span><\/a> due to the pandemic,\u201d Marr said. \u201cThere\u2019s <\/span>some speculation<\/span><\/a> that people leaving liberal New York and neighboring states will bring Democratic votes to southern swing states, and the big increase in \u2018other\u2019 voters may play into that theory. But the uptick in registered Republicans suggests many of the migrants are conservative people moving to more conservative places.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Parts of Florida and North Carolina are typically some of the most popular destinations for Redfin.com users looking to relocate, with Tampa<\/a>, Miami, and Charlotte<\/a> among the <\/span>top 10 places<\/span><\/a> people were looking to move during the second quarter.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMany of the people migrating into Florida are wealthy retirees or people approaching retirement age,\u201d said Wendy Peterson<\/a>, a Redfin real estate agent in Tampa. \u201cA lot of people move to Tampa from Washington, D.C.<\/a>, New Jersey, New York and the Midwest to avoid high taxes in those areas and put their money in Florida real estate. Since the start of the pandemic, we have seen a bump in out-of-state people moving to Florida because many people are no longer tied to brick-and-mortar offices.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

While older people tend to be more conservative and the majority of voters over age 65 chose President Trump in 2016, <\/span>polling shows<\/span><\/a> that Joe Biden is currently ahead in that age group.<\/span><\/p>\n

North Carolina, where President Trump won by a margin of about <\/span>173,000 votes<\/span><\/a> in 2016, has gained roughly 231,000 more registered Republicans than Democrats in the last four years.<\/span><\/p>\n

But like Florida, North Carolina also added 319,000 \u201cother\u201d voters, with the biggest upticks in Wake County (Raleigh<\/a>), Mecklenburg County (Charlotte), Guilford County (Greensboro<\/a>) and Forsyth County (Winston-Salem<\/a>). All five of those counties voted Democrat in 2016.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If people typically sort themselves by political views and move to an area that\u2019s in line with their politics, there\u2019s reason to believe \u201cother\u201d voters in Florida\u2014and North Carolina\u2014will vote Democrat over Republican this year, making those states more competitive than the uptick in registered Republicans suggests.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cPeople move to North Carolina from New York, New Jersey, and even as far away as California because the cost of living is reasonable, the job market is strong and the climate is warm but not as hot as Florida,\u201d said Jennifer Roderick<\/a>, a Redfin real estate agent in Charlotte. \u201cI recently worked with a couple from New York who can both work from home now because of the pandemic, so they\u2019re relocating for more affordable housing. Cities in North Carolina tend to attract liberal people while smaller towns and places in neighboring South Carolina attract more conservative people.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cA lot of my clients moving in from out of state are millennials who seem liberal, which makes sense because Charlotte is one of the most liberal parts of North Carolina,\u201d said Charlotte Redfin agent Corey Stambaugh<\/a>. \u201cIt\u2019s probably a different story for people moving to rural parts of the state.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Appendix: Additional Analysis on Voter Registration in Swing States<\/h2>\n

Voter registration in Iowa, New Hampshire and Pennsylvania<\/h4>\n

Although migration doesn\u2019t significantly impact Iowa, New Hampshire and Pennsylvania, we also delved into voter registration trends in those swing states.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Iowa, which President Trump won by about <\/span>147,000 votes<\/span><\/a> in 2016, added roughly 26,000 more registered Democrats than Republicans in the last four years. That state has also lost about 52,000 \u201cother\u201d voters.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

New Hampshire, where Hillary Clinton beat President Trump by just <\/span>3,000 votes<\/span><\/a> in 2016, has gained 39,000 more registered Democrats than Republicans. It has also lost about 23,000 \u201cother\u201d voters.<\/span><\/p>\n

And in Pennsylvania, which President Trump won by about 44,000 votes in 2016, there are fewer registered Republicans and Democrats than there were four years ago–but Republicans have lost 115,000 fewer registered voters. There has also been an uptick of 11,000 \u201cother\u201d voters in the states.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Voter registration data predicted 2016 county election outcomes in large counties<\/h4>\n

In 2016, registered Democrats typically voted for the Democratic presidential candidate, while registered Republicans typically voted for the Republican candidate, according to the correlation between voter registration data and 2016 election outcomes. But the link is stronger in large counties than small counties. For example, there were more registered Republicans than Democrats in Maricopa County (Phoenix) in 2016, and the county voted for President Trump. But smaller counties, especially in Florida and North Carolina, turned out in favor of President Trump more than voter registration numbers would have predicted.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
