Where is Gen Z living?

RentCafe studied 3 million rental applications last year and found that Gen Z, those born between 1997 and 2012, are starting to rent apartments; but not in downtown areas or hipster urban hubs like Millennials did. Gen Z represented 16% of all rental application last year nationally. Further, Gen Z is more willing to telecommute and is more willing to start their own businesses and work from anywhere they choose. The most popular CO cities for Gen Z include Boulder (no surprise as it’s a college town), CO Springs, Greeley (another college town), Ft. Collins (another college town), and Loveland. Also, very popular was Westminster and Lakewood.
