Millennials make up the largest portion of Philadelphia’s population, according to data from the U.S. Census and the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The generation took the lead at the start of the century in Philadelphia, and its dominance has only grown. Unlike past generations, the number of millennials living in Philadelphia increased year-over-year as they aged from their early 20s into their 30s. And the city is getting older with them. Today, more than 400,000 millennials live in Philadelphia. The generation makes up about 27% of city residents, according to 2023 figures.
