While other major metros across the nation are adding young adults, growth in several California markets has been stagnant, especially in pricey coastal areas, according to the OC Register.
Since 2000, the population of adults between 20 and 34 has grown 7 percent in San Francisco-Oakland, 3 percent in Los Angeles and Orange County, and 1 percent in Silicon Valley-San Jose. The national average was 6 percent growth in that time frame, and some places around the U.S., including Orlando, Las Vegas, and San Antonio, had growth exceeding 40 percent.
It’s not all bad for California though, as less trendy, interior markets including Riverside-San Bernardino and Sacramento had solid growth rates of 47 percent and 30 percent, respectively.
