Millennial Trends
Figures for the millennial population of Greensboro and comparative areas for 2016 were gathered using the
Pew Research Center definition of the millennial generation: people born after 1980, who were the first
generation to come of age in the new millennium. The Data Book looks at the specific cohorts that are of
decision-making age, those most likely to choose the place where they live, ages 25 to 34. These age groups
make up over 16% of Greensboro’s population, a larger percentage than the state and nation, but a smaller
percentage than some of the largest cities in the state.
