While almost half of the population in OECD countries does not live in their hometown, political scientists know very little about how moving shapes political attitudes and political behavior. This paper analyzes cross-national survey data from Europe to describe how the political attitudes of individuals who leave their hometowns differ from those that stay. Analyzing 39 measures of political attitudes, we find that there are large differences in political attitudes between movers and non-movers. We demonstrate that these differences are not driven by movers that leave their country of birth (i.e., immigrants) but are large in magnitude even when comparing domestic movers and non-movers. We also demonstrate that these differences are best explained by movers' distinct socio-economic and parental backgrounds rather than an independent effect of moving on political attitudes. The results are consistent with existing single-country panel studies that find minimal short-term effects of domestic moves on political attitudes and political behavior.
