Anecdotally a friend of mine is contemplating moving out of Kansas. She is one of the only two Pediatricians in a 100 mile radius. Racism and extreme political views is one of the main reasons. Though most of the other ones are the result of the drain that’s already happened for a long time: lack of peers, low education rates in schools, cultural degradation etc.

That's really interesting because Houston is the most liberal municipality in Texas

Rings true to me. I am a third gen Texan and am planning my escape to Oregon or Colorado.

I wish you a good move! Speaking for my two friends, they both seem very happy in their new digs, and don't seem to miss much from home that they can't visit or have sent over.
