What is going on everyone? Welcome back the world according to Briggs your
destination for stats maps and dry humor i guess
today we're going the opposite direction of our last video which was where
millennials were moving to and today we're going to look at where they're
fleeing from the census has some nice lists that show
migration patterns of millennials over the last 10 years
the last five years the same 10 appear on that list maybe switching spots here
or there but for the most part they stayed on the list while doing the
research i found out that all of these cities
are predicted to continue this trend now the biggest problem
with these cities and millennials is there's no jobs or too many low paying
jobs not enough good paying jobs millennials are in the prime of their
lifetime earning potential right now in 2020 and they want to be
where the money is if you're retired and maybe looking for
just a part-time job these cities might be a good place for you because a lot of
cases it's extra cheap to live there because
no one wants to live there but they're not cities that
someone supporting a family or trying to capitalize on that education they may
have finally paid off this list is going to be ranked in order
of net migration lost in last year's count all right
let's see where millennials are vacating in droves
number 10 new orleans and we start off today's list with the big easy new
orleans founded in 1718 by the french new
orleans was the territorial capital of french louisiana before being traded
to the united states in the louisiana purchase of 1803 this is a city that's
been losing residents since the 1970s yeah really the 1960s
was the last year they had a positive year
in 1970 was the first decade since 1810 they actually
lost population they have now decreased in population
five census in a row and when 2020s is done
i'm sure it's gonna be six in a row there's too many things to list
wrong with new orleans and why people are moving out but we're focusing on
millennials it's a money thing for them the income per capita in new orleans
five percent lower than the national average
and the median household income is 32 percent lower than the national average
unemployment new orleans was 30 percent higher
than the national average in 2019 last year new orleans lost 2 400 millennial
residents number nine provo utah when i first saw provo was on this list
i realized something of all the people i've ever known
talked to chatted with commented back and forth emailed
none of them were moving to provo or we're moving from provo
it's just like they stay there nobody leaves nobody comes in
it's just the same people in provo like they're living in a dome
i've always found provo kind of dull sort of like watered down vanilla ice
cream i did like hiking the foothills outside
of town but that was about it on boredom alone i could see people
wanting to move out of provo the income per capita in provo is 39
lower than the national average and the median household income is 23
percent lower than the national average in 2019 their millennial population
shrunk by 2 800. number eight san diego this one
caught me off guard san diego's a great city and everyone
wants to live there it's considered to have the best weather in the united
states i love san diego it's a great city to live or visit
it's just too bad the cost of living so high it's 50 percent higher than the
national average and housing is 130 percent higher than
the national average those two stats alone
are what's chasing away the millennials but hey at least they got a professional
baseball team that's brave enough to wear brown and yellow i mean come on
brown and yellow before labor day how tacky in 2019 san
diego had a loss of 3 100 millennial residents number 7
ann arbor michigan ann arbor was founded in 1824 named after the wives of the
village's two founders who were both named anne and they also had a stand of
bur oak trees and arbor get it arbor tree and moving
on you know those dudes were privately telling their wives it was really just
named after them you know to smooth out future arguments
or maybe get a little more action i would ann arbor is close enough to
detroit but doesn't get much of detroit's bad reputation
like other closer cities do ann arbor's only had
one census where they actually lost population and that was the last one in
2010 but they only lost 0.1 percent not a drop at all really i'm
sure hardly anyone noticed the 220 census they'll be gaining
5 of their population which is the prediction so
people are still moving into ann arbor but they're losing their millennials
consistently over the past five years they've dropped
about 3 000 each year and last year alone they lost 3 200 millennial
residents all the stats are decent in ann arbor
schools amenities and crime are all great stats but then you get to
housing and cost of living this is a major driver for scaring off
your millennials the cost of living here is 10
higher than the national average and housing is 33 percent higher
millennials don't like to stick around if things cost them too much past
generations they kind of put up with it especially mine generation x we bought
some stupid crap not millennials they're kind of holding
on to their money and being smart in general obviously not everyone
number six boulder colorado less than an hour north of denver you have boulder
colorado home to the university of colorado and
fewer and fewer millennials every single year
this one is sort of strange on the last list of cities millennials are moving to
denver right down the road was the number two most moved to
city for millennials and now here we are just you know
less than 45 minutes away on a good day you have boulder
and they're fleeing that place but why are millennials leaving boulder colorado
this one is easy when polled the overwhelming reason
millennials were calling it quits on boulder was how pricey it's become
housing is 152 higher than the national average
and the cost of living is 42 percent higher than the national average
it's kind of rough last year boulder's millennial population shrunk by 3 400.
number five miami florida miami has never had a census where they lost
residents in the 2000 census they got close only gaining one percent so
they've always had people coming in most decades they have had at least 10
percent population growth in the 2020 census
it's estimated that they will gain an additional
17 percent now those are the good numbers
here's the bad numbers miami is losing millennials
like i lose brain cells when i hear k-pop music
they lost 3 600 millennial residents last year alone
so why are they losing these millennials you ask i'm gonna answer
the median household income in miami is 43 lower than the national average
now that is brutal considering this place has a really high cost living
the unemployment rate is 25 percent higher than the national average
and the poverty level is 83 percent higher than the national average miami's
crime rate is 62 percent higher than the national average
and the violent crime rate is 67 percent higher
yeah this place kind of sucks on paper at least i mean
great culture great food the people are decent
in most cases i mean obviously not the ones committing the violent crimes
they're not decent people it's a good city it's just got a lot of
stats in the wrong places and that's driving millennials out
number four st louis missouri st louis is trying to recover from a really bad
reputation it won't at least not in our lifetimes
st louis does have some nice neighborhoods don't get me wrong
they just got a whole bunch of really really bad ones
and east st louis is right across the border in illinois that doesn't help
matters either you know everyone likes to bring up how
bad chicago is when they're talking about you know
how much illinois sucks east st louis is far worse than chicago it's like no
comparison the only difference is east st louis has about a quarter of the
population in chicago about 5 000 millennials moved into st
louis last year and that's great too bad over 10 000
might have taken my advice from past videos where i talk about st louis and
got out yeah so basically in case you didn't
want to do the math 5 000 millennials left st
louis last year number three washington dc
i guess when they said drain the swamp they were talking about millennials and
not politicians politicians are still there and last
year they lost 5 400 millennials dc has a butt load of reasons
millennials are skipping town crime is high cost living is 53 higher
than the national average housing is 149 percent higher
it's crowded traffic sucks and the schools are subpar on a good day
don't move to dc this one's going to be short because
there's too many problems to really get into this one
number two chicago illinois hey look chicago made the list the windy city has
always been a city people moved to so they could start their career
advance their career or maybe just get a job some people are just want to try out
the big city maybe they're from a small town who knows
those things are becoming a thing of the past more and more every year
because the internet people are working from home more and more and you don't
always have to live in a big city for decent jobs
smaller cities are now getting some of those companies that only a big city
would have before and the excitement of living in a place
like chicago it isn't you know everything it used to
be millennials know all this and the big city isn't worth the price
chicago is too crowded too expensive and too dangerous to be worth working there
last year they lost just about 8 000 millennial residents
and number one new york city new york city has 8 million 175
000 residents and just under 20 million in the metro area so them losing some
millennials won't be noticed unless this keeps up
for years it's getting there for over a hundred years new york city
grew their population by at least 25 percent
each census some of them as high as 40 percent
in only two decades has the big apple lost population
in 1960s and the 1980s compared to the flood of people
they got most decades the last two have slowed to a trickle they've only grown
by two percent in each of the last two census last one
in 2010 and this one they're predicting it to be around two percent also
stat wise new york city is bad in everything
but things to do really everything else crime schools
housing cost of living it's all crazy bad
and then you know they got a lot of stuff to do so it makes it all worth it
right no not to me new york city lost 50 000
millennials last year alone
