Abstract: This paper contributes to the literature on the eect of individual-level characteristics on urban location choice by examining whether young people aged 25-34 with a bachelor's degree or higher are more likely to live in central cities in 2011 than in 1990. When I control for individual-level characteristics I nd that the eect of education on the probability of living in a central city remains similar across generations. This is evidence that to the extent education plays a role in the larger population of high human capital 25-34 year olds in cities in 2011 it is due to a composition eect rather than cities becoming more attractive to educated people at the margin.
