Finding a place with nicer weather or relocating for a job opportunity were the top reasons for which Americans said they would be willing to move to a different state, according to a recent Harris Poll.

The poll surveyed 2,232 adults in the United States to determine what might motivate them to move. The survey was issued between Nov. 11 and 16.

In addition to the top reasons, a large share of respondents said they would move for health reasons or to be closer to their family, friends, or a significant other. Respondents were less likely to say they would move in order to find a place where their lifestyle, political views, or religion were more accepted.

Fifty-two percent of respondents said they would consider moving to another state for better climate or nicer weather. People from areas with colder winters were more likely to say they would consider moving for this reason, including 64 percent of East Coast respondents and 61 percent of Midwest respondents. Forty-eight percent of Southerners and 39 percent of those from the West said the weather might influence a relocation.

Forty-one percent said they would consider moving to another state for a job opportunity. Younger respondents were most likely to say they would move for this reason. Sixty-eight percent of the 18-35 age group said they might move for a job, compared to 52 percent of the 36-50 age group, 20 percent of the 51-69 age group, and only 2 percent of the 70 and older age group.

Thirty-six percent said they would consider proximity to their family when deciding whether to move to another state. This share dropped to 18 percent for proximity to friends and 16 percent for proximity to a significant other.

Age was a factor in a person's likelihood to move for the latter two reasons. While 26 percent of the 18-35 age group said they might move out of state to be closer to friends, the share fell steadily in older groups to a low of 13 percent of those ages 70 and older. The share of respondents saying they would move to be closer to a significant other shrank from 24 percent among the youngest age group to 4 percent among the oldest.

Fourteen percent said they would consider moving out of state for an educational opportunity. An equal share said they would move for a reason not suggested by the poll.

Thirteen percent said they would move out of state to find a place where their lifestyle is more accepted. Eleven percent indicated that they would be willing to move to find an area where their political views were more accepted, and 7 percent said they would move to find a place where their religious views were more accepted.

Respondents who identified as LGBT were more likely to say they would move to find a place where their lifestyle was more accepted. Thirty-four percent of these respondents said they would leave their state for this reason, compared to only 11 percent who did not identify as LGBT.

People who said they were liberal were more likely to move to another state to be near others with their political views. Twenty percent said they would be willing to move for this reason, compared to 13 percent of conservatives and 5 percent of moderates.

More conservatives said they would move to find a place where their religion was more accepted. Twelve percent said they would move out of state for this reason, while only 7 percent of liberals and 4 percent of moderates said they would do so.

Eleven percent said they would consider moving to another state to live in an area where the use of recreational marijuana is legal. This factor was more likely to influence younger respondents, with 20 percent of the 18-35 group saying they would consider a move for this reason. The share fell to 10 percent in the 36-50 age group, 7 percent in the 51-69 age group, and 1 percent in the 70 and older age group.

Respondents who said they held liberal political views were more likely to consider moving to an area due to legal recreational marijuana use. Seventeen percent said they would be willing to move for this reason, compared to 12 percent of moderates and 6 percent of conservatives.

Male and female respondents generally responded in similar ways, although there were some notable differences. Forty percent of women said they would be willing to move to another state to be closer to family, compared to 32 percent of men. Fourteen percent of men and 8 percent of women said they would consider moving to a place where recreational marijuana use is legal, while 13 percent of men and 9 percent of women said the acceptability of their political views would influence their decision.

Fifteen percent said they would not move to another state for any reason. People were more likely to dig in their heels as they got older. While only 7 percent of the youngest age group said they would not move for any reason, the share rose to 11 percent in the 36-50 age group, 19 percent in the 51-69 age group, and 35 percent in the 70 and older age group.

The survey follows a separate one by Harris Poll, issued to 2,232 U.S. adults between Nov. 11 and 16, to see which states people were most likely to want to move to. Florida was the top choice, followed by California and Hawaii.

However, California also topped the list of states which respondents said they would least like to move to, while Florida ranked seventh. New York scored second on this list, while Alaska came in third.
