Abstract: Conflicting data sources present very different pictures of young adult migration rates. The Pew Research Center presented an analysis of census data reporting that today’s young adults are less likely to move in a given year than were their predecessors. A new article from Pew concludes: “Americans are moving at historically low rates, in part because Millennials are staying put.” Only about 20 percent of 25-35 year olds moved in the previous year, a rate far lower than the 26 percent of GenXers who moved when they were the same age and 27 percent of late boomers, who moved when they were in this age group.
