What is going on everyone? Welcome back to the world according to Briggs my name
is Briggs and I have some sort of rash I think I got into something while I was
in Alaska I don't know I don't ever remember getting any sort of rash ever I
mean I'm sure I had some when I was a baby you you know but that was it well
no actually when I was a young adult I had an ex-girlfriend who would give me a
rash every time she talked too much speaking of young adults where are they
all moving to these days where all the new college grads setting up camp in the
last decade or so the old go to places that all the young people moved to have
fallen out of fashion when I was younger everyone was moving to LA New York San
Francisco or Miami then later on they started moving to Portland Seattle
Denver and now those have fallen out of fashion why have all these cities fallen
out of fashion the main reason is price hardly anyone in their 20s can afford to
live in these places anymore if they are living in one of those places something
else is going on like their families subsidizing them they're selling their
plasma on the weekends they've changed their name to cinnamon and twirl on a
pole for dollar bills and some of them are probably still living in their cars
and paying car insurance instead of rent I've mentioned that before but I
actually know a guy who lived in his car in Seattle for the first two years out
of law school he was a lawyer with such high student loan debt that he had to
live in his car that blows that's not the way it's supposed to be a lot of
young adults have seen the light I guess living in a place that is way above your
budget makes zero sense they're spreading out across this great country
searching for a better life kind of like the Mormons back in the 1800s it's not
just one or two new places it's a bunch and that's what today's video is all
about so sit back and watch my top ten places recent grads are moving to number
10 Hattiesburg Mississippi Hesburgh Mississippi is not the first place most
people would think about moving to when they're looking for a new place to live
their population has stayed just under forty six thousand residents since the
2010 census the reason for this older people are passing on and mostly younger
people are taking their place the average age in Hattiesburg is 34 years
old that's four years lower than the national average now this part is
amazing if you know anything about Mississippi thirty-six point eight
percent of the residents in Hattiesburg have at least a bachelor's degree that's
two percent higher than the national average
mind blown I check on that stat several times to make
sure I was reading it right then I thought I might be impaired in some
manner that hasn't occurred to me yet and I was reading things that were
untrue I checked my medication and I'm good to go another neat fact about
Hattiesburg the 24 to 35 year old population was the only group that
hasn't been losing people it actually increased by 4.2 percent over the last
two years why are young people moving here you ask they have jobs in
Hattiesburg and it's a dirt cheap cost of living they're just moving there
because then it's not like they have some crazy pub or brewery scene or music
scene no it's just cheap to live and I'm sure they have those things and people
are flocking there number nine Killeen Texas Killeen Texas is about an hour's
drive north of Austin Texas the Texas state capitol it has just over 127
thousand residents and here it is they call it k-town holy hell that needs
to stop if you use the first letter of whatever city or town you live in
followed by the word town you are not original there's at least five other
places that use the same nickname as you Colleen's population between 24 and 35
grew by 4.3 percent last year alone that was the only age demographic above new
born that increased the average age in Killeen is 31 years old why are young
adults moving here it's low cost living low housing costs they also have solid
schools which is attracting young couples you just got to worry about the
heat in Killeen number eight Fayetteville North Carolina oh yes
Vietnam is the older sergeant used to call it Fayetteville is right outside
the gates of the Army's Fort Bragg a place I've spent too much time at the
Ville as others call it has about two hundred thousand residents in the city
and almost 400,000 in the metro area I had a girlfriend that lived in
Fayetteville she's about 45 years old now and her name's Julie she also might
still have a tattoo on her butt that says Briggs she was a bit of a stalker I
think a friend told her I went missing in action funny thing about that we
weren't even at war she didn't get it I don't know
strange anyway the demographic of ages 24 to 35 grew 4.7 percent last year
alone the average age here is thirty two point two years old why do young adults
move here well some of them don't have a choice the Army stationed them there and
they have to go there the recent grads are coming for the low cost of living
simple number seven Hinesville Georgia this is another army town with a lot of
the same things going on in Fayetteville North Carolina
Hinesville is right outside of Fort Stewart Georgia and less than an hour
from Savannah Georgia this is easily my favorite area in the
south and it's starting to catch some attention it wasn't for a long time
people just knew it as place outside of Fort Stewart now people are starting to
move into that area they don't have the best stats until you get the cost of
living it is dirt cheap here as well Hinesville is sort of the center of
Liberty County and really all of Liberty County is starting to see a younger
crowd move in the average age here is 27 years old
that's right 27 years old that's a low average adults what the bachelor's
degree is 18.9% now that's not the highest until you realize ten years ago
it was about five percent number six Charlottesville Virginia Charlottesville
Virginia is an amazingly historic town the city was founded in 1762 and
currently has almost 44,000 residents with almost 230 in the entire metro area
new graduates are moving to this part of Virginia at a pretty good pace they have
jobs housing isn't crazy and the cost living in Charlottesville is only
fourteen percent higher than the national average the twenty four to
thirty five age group grew by five point four percent last year alone and a lot
of that has to do with jobs and great schools they got really good schools in
Charlottesville Virginia saw some action during the Civil War
Charlottesville was spared the brunt of the American Civil War action the only
battle that took place in Charlotte's field was a skirmish at Rio Hill an
encounter with George Armstrong Custer yes that George Armstrong Custer
but Custer briefly engaged with local Confederate Home Guards before
retreating the mayor surrendered the city to Custer's men to keep the town
from being burned in more recent history in August of 2017 the city was the site
of a couple rallies that took a really bad turn it sort of left a black eye on
Charlottesville that black eye hasn't slowed down the influx of recent grads
the average age in Charlottesville right now is only 29 years old
number five Fayetteville Arkansas if you look at Arkansas as a whole this one
seems a little odd a majority of the state is trying to leave the state then
you have the northwest section near Fayetteville and Rogers
bring Dale also this part of Arkansas doesn't act like the rest of Arkansas
they have jobs educated people nice homes for cheap you can buy the American
Dream here for about two hundred thousand dollars it's a nice house
backyard on a friendly street the average age in Fayetteville is 28 years
old and last year the young adult population grew by five and a half
percent which this place is coming up this is a place that a lot of people are
looking to now as being the next Seattle Portland something like that
number four Arlington County Virginia Virginia gets another one on this list
all those people that used to move to New York City after college moved to
Arlington County Virginia it seems like this is the first one on this list that
doesn't fall into the cheap category actually this place is very expensive
but if you're going to sell your soul and work in Washington DC in a
professional capacity you've looked at getting a place in Arlington County
Virginia the average age is thirty two point five and in 2018 the young adult
group grew by six percent that's pretty high when one small group twenty four to
thirty five grows by six percent there's definitely a youth movement going on
here so if you want to work for the government and especially the Pentagon
which has a very nice Taco Bell and to KFC they have their own Taco Bell and
KFC in the building not like most places that just have a Starbucks they have one
of those too but they actually have their own KFC in their own Taco Bell
amazing if you want to work at one of those places Arlington County is your
place number three Junction City Kansas this is another army town that has seen
an influx of college grads Junction City has lost about a thousand people since
the 2010 census twenty-three thousand at 22,000 the thing is this the only group
that grew was the 24 to 35 age group the average age is 26 in Junction City
that's really low it's actually 11 years younger than the national average again
a lot of people are in the military but recent grads have been filtering in for
a couple years now in 2010 only thirteen percent of the residents had a
bachelor's degree currently it's about 23 percent just last year alone the 24
to 35 age group grew by six point three percent and that's a lot of people a lot
of young people this Junction city may alarm most people you're probably
thinking what has gone wrong with American youth to make them consider
Kansas as a place to move to I've been to four
I went outside the main post twice in six months six months I was there I went
out twice each time I got outside the gate looked around and thought well that
was a complete waste of time and went back in like I said the average age here
currently is 26 years old that's young number two Milwaukee Wisconsin Milwaukee
is one of the only places in Wisconsin you'll find a lot of crime the good news
is it's trended down what hasn't caught up with that trending down statistic is
the cost of living in housing prices both are still really low approximately
18 percent of the population is in its 20s in Milwaukee the city also ranks
high for both its concentration of bars and its concentration of dining
establishments eat and drink in Milwaukee is like an extreme sport these
people drink a ton of beer and they eat a scary amount of meat like sausages and
bratwurst and not with all that stuff it's it's they go heavy the average age
in Milwaukee is 26 and that 24 to 35 year old group grew by 7% last year
alone Wisconsin leads the country in a strange stat they have the least amount
of outward migration by recent grads in the whole country like all 50 states
they've the least amount of grads leaving the state with their degrees I
think they lead in just low youth migration in general people like it
there it's a great state they want to stay and they want to stay close to
their family you just got to get past the cold who they get some cold winters
and number one Cincinnati Ohio shocker right most people never would have seen
this one coming Cincinnati Ohio is the top spot for new college grads the main
reason Cincinnati is number one is its affordability cost of living here is
very low crime in some areas is a little high but you know if you got a low cost
living that's to be expected like all American cities another
contributing factor is the monthly median rent is only 580 dollars a month
that's like unheard of in any other city almost I'm sure someone's gonna pull
something out of like Oh lathe Kansas they are only paying like four hundred
and twenty dollars you're in a lathe Kansas so yeah this relative
affordability makes it easier for you to pay off student loans and look ahead for
other financial goals like getting your first mortgage and then hopefully
foreclosing and getting another one later on down the line sometimes you
might need a bankruptcy lawyer but that's okay if you're in Cincinnati
you're probably going to find like-minded
individuals to help you keep on track just over 22 percent of the population
is in their 20s that's pretty low and so what a lot of people are noticing about
Cincinnati 20 year-olds are everywhere nobody likes to see that bunch of happy
optimistic people wearing leggings everywhere it's horrible I saw a video
actually that this guy did about young people migrating to sensi and one of the
people he talked to was a woman and her husband I'd say they're in their 50s and
they were at a mall or something and they he was asking them about that and
if they've noticed it and they had and then this woman goes on this tangent
about all these young kids are destroying the culture Cincinnati her
husband is sitting next to her on this bench he's just kind of shaking his head
in agreement you know just kind of calmly then she blurts out all these
young girls wearing yoga and workout pants all over the place it's just tacky
her husband leans towards the Camerons that I'm okay with that one he winks it
was perfect it was it was almost like it was setup but I guess it was it was
great anyway the 24 to 35 age group grew by 7.3 percent last year
Cincinnati seems to be a hot spot for young people and it's pretty much all
price you can live there pretty cheap and you're in I'd say you know medium
sized city and it's got a baseball team in a football team it's got something
going on there all right so it's my top ten places young people and graduates
are moving to I hope you guys enjoyed hope you got some information out of it
