Young adults in San Antonio are less independent, better educated and more diverse now than they were in 1980, according to newly released data by the U.S. Census Bureau.

A new interactive map from the Bureau breaks down trends in the 18-34 age group from 1980 to 2009-2013 and the biggest change in San Antonio is the percent who say they have never married.

That number went from 37 percent in 1980 to over 61 percent in 2009-2013, an increase of nearly 25 percent.
