For the first time in the 21st Century, the Baby Boomers are no longer the largest generation in America.
Millennials, an age group defined as people between the ages of 23 to 38 years old, overtook their Boomer counterparts as of July 1, 2019, according to U.S. Census Bureau data compiled by the Pew Research Center andTuesday. Boomers, defined as Americans aged 55 to 73, had been the nation's largest living adult generation since 1999 and they held that title for two decades.
In 2018, Pew gathered several points of societal data ranging from labor market numbers to behavioral trends in order to offer the exact definition that the youngest 21st Century-straddling"millennials" were born in 1996. The"Baby Boomers" are defined as a generation birthed in the years following World War II, from 1946 through 1964.
Generation X's population peaked in 2015, with 65.6 million living adult members. During the years in which Generation X members were born, between 1965 and 1980, births only averaged about 3.4 million each year compared to 3.9 million births between 1981 and 1996 - when Millennials were being born. "With immigration adding more numbers to this group than any other, the Millennial population is projected to peak in 2033, at 74.9 million. Thereafter, the oldest Millennial will be at least 52 years of age and mortality is projected to outweigh net immigration," the Pew Research Center noted in their Tuesday data sheet.
