The 10 US cities where millennials can't wait to move
Millennials are expected to become the most powerful generation in America in the not-so-distant future, as the group begins to exert an outsize influence on politics, culture, and the economy.

New data from the Brookings Institution's Metropolitan Policy Program reveals the 10 US metropolitan areas whose populations of millennials - defined as people born between 1981 and 1997 - have increased the most from 2010 to 2015. For the 10 cities on the list, we've calculated the approximate number of millennials living there using millennial population percentages provided by Brookings, as well as US Census data on the population of each metro area from 2015.
