Boston, September 25th, 2018 /StratoDem Analytics/ — Millennial forecasting
Peak Millennial, as this piece is titled, is not just impactful to Austin, Texas. The Millennial shift into older cohorts affects the housing demand across the country. No longer the college students and early career professionals that the industry has been marketing to, they will seek different amenities, while remaining more likely to rent than earlier generations. The new college students and early career professionals may have different preferences, but, more importantly, there is considerably slower growth in that segment demanding housing.
Highlighted: Counties with the largest percentage growth of the population ages 80+ with household net worth of $250,000+ through 2023.
