Daily News | Gen Z is moving to big cities — including Philly — while older generations flee
As older generations are trying to escape larger cities, Gen Z is flocking to them. Philadelphia is no exception.
In Philadelphia, census data estimates that 12,947 Gen Z movers settled into the city and 6,698 left, leaving a net migration of 6,249 new young residents. Other cities that pulled new young residents include Washington, D.C., Atlanta, and Nashville, Tenn.Today’s Homeowner also noted that the millennial, Gen X, baby boomer, and silent generations are leaving larger cities, with Philadelphia, New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago, showing net decreases for all generations except Gen Z in 2021.
Still, it’s not a new phenomenon for young people with less responsibility and more flexibility to feel pulled toward a big city., people’s tolerance for entry-level jobs and small urban apartments is highest when they are young adults. And since the late 2010s, the young adult population has been its highest in decades. The last time America had a big bubble of 25-year-olds was in the late 1970s and early 1980s. During that period, a wave of twenty-somethings moved into big cities.
