When it comes to cities they want to call home, the greatest number of Gen Zers between the ages of 18 and 24 are moving to Ann Arbor, Michigan, according to financial services company SmartAsset . SmartAsset used data from the Census Bureau’s American Community Survey to determine the U.S. cities that saw the most Gen Zers move in throughout 2022 to conduct its research.
Millennials, on the other hand, are moving to Cambridge, Massachusetts. CNBC Make It noted that while both cities offer active downtown areas and prestigious academic landscapes, Ann Arbor has a significantly lower cost of living.
