Research & Thought Leadership moving back home renting in cities auto/home purchases declining taking advantage of ridesharing and homesharing LOVE social media Millennials are either moving back home with their parents or renting in urban areas. According to census data, roughly 40% of millennial men and women were living at home in 2014. In addition, one study found that millennial car purchases declined 30% from 2007-2011. A 2014 survey by Nielson found that 62% of millennials prefer to live in cities, increasing the renters market. The growth rate of US citizens renting increased 600% between 2005 and 2010. In contrast, first time home buyers numbers are at their lowest since 2002. There are many potential reasons for this. It could be their inability to find jobs in a recovering US labor market or their significant student debt. Some attribute the rise and fall of the dot.com bubble coupled with the great recession to a fear of spending beyond ones means This has resulted in diminished investment in debt-inducing goods such as cars and homes and provides a great opportunity to utilize ridesharing and homesharing And of course, social media.
