Utah Millennials were 15 years ahead of the rest of the country in overtaking the number of baby boomers. That’s according to a Utah Foundation report released Thursday.
Millennials are generally defined as being born in the early 1980’s to the early 2000’s. Nationally, they are expected to outnumber boomers this year. Mallory Bateman is a research analyst for the Utah Foundation.
“I was personally surprised at how big our millennial population is and how big it has been for many years,” says Bateman.
She says that makes the ratio of Millennials to the rest of us in Utah, the second highest in the nation. She says the research also found Utah women in that age group are having fewer babies between the ages of 20 and 24 and who are waiting until they are 30 to 34 years old to be mothers.
