PowerMoves is on a mission to build a more civil, just and inclusive society by helping people who are moving find communities where they will be happy, safe, and welcome – and where their votes will be powerful. To facilitate this, we have launched a Voter Impact Index (V-Impact) tool that helps people understand the impact of their vote based on their zip code. We also recommend communities where people can have high voter impact scores AND have their quality of life priorities are met.

We have launched an initial version of our Voter Impact Index (V-Impact), which projects the impact of your vote in any zip code. V-Impact is a non-partisan index, which assigns to every zip code a voter impact score that is calculated based on the competitiveness of six federal and state elections associated with that unique zip code. Individuals can use the score to identify competitive locations where they can meet their quality of life priorities like: LGBTQ+ safety, tax friendliness, reproductive health care rights, and climate resiliency.

In 2025, our focus was building the Voter Impact Index which is live and can be accessed at: https://www.powermoves.vote/voter-impact-index-lookup-1. We also identified communities that are electorally competitive AND that meet the 4 quality of life priorities we identified: LGBTQ+ safety, tax friendliness, reproductive health care rights, and climate resiliency. We have also focused on colleges that are in competitive districts. We just began outreach to movers near the close of 2025.
