<p>Just 11.2% of Americans moved in the past year — an all-time
low. This is mostly due to low migration levels among
millennials, who are far less likely to migrate than older
generations. Still, the likelihood of picking up and moving to a
new place remains highest among young people 18 to 34 years old.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Such a major life transition is a serious decision and involves
important considerations. Subjective factors like the presence
of friends and family are often the main reasons for selecting a
particular destination, but they are highly personal. More
practical considerations such as affordable housing, work
availability, and desirable amenities, on the other hand, are
more quantifiable and apply to everyone attempting to relocate.
In the United States, some places are far more attractive to
young people than others.</p>
<p>24/7 Wall St. reviewed U.S. counties with the most migrants age
18 to 34 who moved there last year as a share of the overall
population. Because many counties with a large share of such
young migrant population included college towns, and because
college students are often temporary residents, we excluded
areas where a relatively large percentage of the pop are
students. Specifically, we excluded counties where college
students comprise a larger share of the population compared to
their share nationwide.</p>
<p>Between 5% and 11% of the populations of 33 counties are young
people who moved there in the last year, versus the average
across all counties of 2.9%.</p>
