Ever wonder where “millennials” aka “adults aged 25-34″ live in the big cities?
We’ve discovered their favorite areas with a little help from a project conducted by the Generated City at the University of Waterloo. Here, students, led by their Professor Markus Moos sought to understand the social, economic, and geographic characteristics of different age groups in the US and Canada. They conducted a project and mapped out the cities and neighborhoods that had the highest concentrations of young adults.
The highest concentrated areas are shown in dark red, and the lighter colors show the least concentrated areas.
If you are a fellow millennial deciding where to live, these cities might help you decide:
