Millennial population grows in Memphis

College-educated Millennials are on the move looking for a great location to accept their second job and actually start a career. Studies show they are looking for the same things in every city they choose: variety of dining and bar options, night life and music, dense, walkable areas with affordable rent. Memphis made the cut and is on the list of places Millennials are headed.

“City Observatory just published a list of cities that millennials are flocking to, and it looks like the South actually is rising again. Thanks to low(er) costs of living and booming economies, some great Southern cities are finally getting the national recognition they deserve. The following list shows the percent change from 2000 – 2012 in millennial population (ages 25-34) with a college degree, and some of the top rated cities are showing some insane growth rates.”
