With political fever running high less than two weeks before the election, nearly a fifth of people report they have gotten into disagreements with neighbors over the state of the political union and their favorite political candidates, a new Redfin survey found.

Almost one in five people (18.7%) report they’ve gotten into a dispute with a neighbor over politics.

Men are more than two times as likely to get into a disagreement than women.

More than one in four men (27.1%) said they’ve been in a political disagreement with a neighbor, compared with 13.4% of women, according to the survey of 1,802 homeowners and renters age 18 to 65 conducted by Ipsos in September 2024.

Republicans, or at least those who say they are voting for President Trump, are more assertive than their Democrat counterparts when it comes to engaging the people who live next door on the subject of politics, the survey found.

“Trump voters (39%) are more likely to regularly engage in political conversations with neighbors than Harris voters (32.7%),” Redin reported.

Trump voters are also more likely to get into a heated exchange about politics than Harris voters. “Nearly a quarter (23.1%) of respondents who said they are voting for former President Donald Trump have engaged in a political disagreement with a neighbor, compared with 19.5% of respondents voting for Kamala Harris,” Redfin found.

Not surprisingly, younger generations are more likely to pursue political conversations with neighbors and spar over politics than older generations, the survey found.

Redfin’s findings bear this out: Some “26.4% of Gen Zers reported they have had a disagreement with a neighbor over politics, compared to 23.5% of millennials, 14.3% of Gen Xers and 13.6% of baby boomers.”

Nearly one in three (30.4%) respondents said they regularly engage in political conversations with their neighbors, with 40.9% of men saying they were when only 24% of women did.

Interestingly, homeowners are more likely to engage neighbors in political discussions than renters, but not by a landslide. More than one in five homeowners (20.5%) said they had gotten into a political disagreement with their neighbors, compared with 16.3% of renters, Redfin reported.

Among owners, 35.5% said they were more likely to engage than renters (only 25.8% of whom said they were). When it was broken down by generations, 40.3% of millennials said they were more likely to regularly engage, while 38.9% of Gen Zers said they were. Both groups are more likely to regularly engage than Gen Xers (21.7% of whom said they were) and baby boomers (23% of whom said they were).

Racial issues are also barn burners of conversation between neighbors, according to the survey. Nearly 12% of respondents have gotten in a disagreement with a neighbor over racial issues.

Men were again more likely to get into a disagreement than women, Redfin said—15.3% of men said they were, while 9.5% of women did. Gen Zers were the most likely among the generational cohorts to get into disagreements: 20.1% said they were, while only 15.6% of millennials, 9.3% of Gen Xers and 4.9% of baby boomers said they were.

The topic of race seems to resonate a bit more with Democrats than Republicans, the survey found. More than one in seven Harris voters (14.7%) said they had been in a dispute with neighbors over racial issues, compared with 11.9% of Trump voters.

The survey was fielded to 1,802 U.S. homeowners and renters aged 18 to 65 in September.
