Have cities reached peak Millennial? Depends who you ask. Some experts are reporting a ‘cresting’ of young adults moving to urban areas and resurgence of mid-30s couples moving into the suburbs now that people are bouncing back from the Great Recession. But others are contesting the claim, saying that “the number of [those Millennials] 25-to-34-years-old will increase by about 3 million over the next 7 years,” and it’s during this life stage they are more likely to live in cities. Since 1990 was the peak birth year of the Millennial generation, it seems likely that there’s some time before cities lose them. (New York Times, CityLab)
