The millennial population is increasingly taking over the housing market, but according to a new study, done by Brookings, there are certain cities young adults are gravitating towards more than others. Mark Abadi, Strategy Reporter at Business Insider joins Cheddar to talk through some of the winning cities.
Colorado, Texas and Florida boast the most cities on the list. Surprisingly, North Dakota experienced the most growth in its millennial population attributed largely to the energy-driven economic boom that peaked in 2012 and the jobs that came with it.
