Growth in Millennials

Since 2005, Philadelphia’s population of 18- to 34-year-olds has increased by 41 percent, far outpacing that age group’s growth in the Pa. suburbs, South Jersey, and the nation. Most of that growth occurred in just two years, 2009 and 2010, when the number of the city’s millennial residents grew by more than 100,000.
