That’s because they no longer enjoy social and recreational activities, or no longer need to be in an office. Job and pay cuts and not wanting to use public transportation are among their top reasons for wanting to move away.

For 50% of the Millennials that is the cost of living, whereas 24% cite concerns about safety. Among them, 46% want more living space and 37% even consider buying a house.
