Several Queens neighborhoods
rank among the nation’s leaders
in millennial population, according
to a new study by RENTCafe
released on Monday.
The study analyzed the most recent
U.S. Census data available for ZIP
codes in the 30 biggest cities in the
United States to determine which have
seen the biggest increase in millennials
over the past fi ve years, the largest
share of millennials and the highest
number of total millennials.
The study defi ned millennials as
people born between 1977 and 1996,
although other studies say the generation
begins in the early 1980s.
The results showed that the 11368
ZIP code, covering Corona, North
Corona and Willets Point, has the highest
number of millennials in Queens
with approximately 40,700. Ranking
second in the borough was the 11385
ZIP code of Ridgewood and Glendale
with 34,700 millennial residents.
Also ranking inside the top 20 was
the 11373 ZIP code of Elmhurst with
31,600 millennials, and the 11377 ZIP
code of Woodside and parts of Sunnyside
with 31,000 millennials.
In the other two categories, however,
Queens does not crack the top
20 in millennial increase in the past
fi ve years or the share of millennials
in the total ZIP code population. This
could indicate that, in neighborhoods
like Corona, Ridgewood and Glendale,
there is a signifi cant portion of the
millennial population that is native
to those areas.
To that point, the most generational
growth shown by a Queens neighborhood
in the past fi ve years is in the
11103 ZIP code of Astoria, where the
millennial population increased by
23.7 percent, the study shows.
Brooklyn shared a similar outlook
in the study, with no neighborhoods
ranking in the top 20 in millennial
growth or share of the population. The
borough did have several neighborhoods
in the top 20 for total millennial
population, and the 11211 ZIP code of
Williamsburg actually has the highest
number of millennials in the country
with 43,700.
Along the Ridgewood border in
neighboring Bushwick, the 11221 ZIP
code has 31,800 millennials, the study
shows.
Other parts of New York City fared
much diff erently than Queens. In
Manhattan, three ZIP codes ranked
inside the top 20 of highest millennial
share of the population with at least
a 64 percent, according to the report.
The Lincoln Square and Battery Park
areas of the borough also ranked inside
the top 10 of highest millennial
growth with an approximately 50
percent increase over the past fi ve
years.
