Millennials in Cleveland

For decades, we've heard about the influence and sway of the Baby Boomers.  But now the Millennial generation--those roughly between the ages of 18 and 35-- are moving into the spotlight. This is their moment.  While the housing bust and Great Recession that started in 2008 took a heavy toll here in Northeast Ohio, it helped to bring millennials back to Cleveland.  Since 2008 some 14, 000college educated millennials have returned to make Cleveland home.
