Survey Says: What New Mover Data Shows About Millennial Movers Believe it or not, Millennials are growing up. A new local survey shows that Millennial movers are shedding their carefree vibes and are more concerned with careers when it comes to where they live. Whether it’s higher pay or a convenient commute, these Millennials are thinking practical when it comes to putting down roots. In fact, new mover data for Millennials (aged 22-38) shows that they’re starting to sound a lot like their parents! Our Town America commissioned the local survey of more 650 Millennial men and women who have moved in the last five years.
