Reconsidering where you live after Helene? You’re not alone

( NewsNation ) — Hurricane Helene ‘s devastation has nearly a third of young adults reconsidering where they want to live in the future, according to a new survey conducted by Redfin.

“Americans are beginning to realize that nowhere is truly immune to the impacts of climate change , and we’re starting to see that impact where people want to live, even people who haven’t experienced a catastrophic weather event firsthand,” Redfin Chief Economist Daryl Fairweather said.

Helene’s damage along Florida’s Gulf Coast to the unexpected devastation in Asheville, North Carolina , has Americans ages 18 to 34 rethinking where they want to live.

In addition to possible weather catastrophes, 23% of respondents fear the overall insurance premiums for their areas will go up after Helene and that it will be hard to get insurance to cover storm-related damages.

However, nearly half of all respondents said the news and hurricane damage has not impacted the way they think about their housing situation, the report said.
