[quote=Anonymous]http://www.governing.com/columns/eco-engines/col-are-cities-ready-for-millennials.html From the article: Here are the facts most people know: [b]For the foreseeable future, the so-called millennials (currently ages 18-30) will drive both the housing market and the fast-growing innovation economy.[/b] It’s a huge cohort of about 70 million people. And as I mentioned above, they are gravitating toward a select group of metros and small cities. But there are a couple of other facts that we don’t usually think about. Most people settle down by age 35, and usually don’t move from one metro area to another after that. And the demographic group behind the millennials is a lot smaller. [b]Just like baby boomers, the preferences of the millennials will drive our society for two generations. [/b]They’re making location decisions based on their idea of quality of life. And they’re going to make all those decisions in the next few years -- by the time they’re 35.[/quote]
