It follows that insurers and their partners should be keenly aware of the places that are attracting these young adults born in the 1980s, who also are referred to as Generation Y (or Gen Y). Roughly a quarter of millennials relocated to a different city in 2022, according to a new report from SmartAsset. Some of them came from the same county or the same state.
