America's most millennial cities named - and they include many of the country's wokest places
The Daily Mail ^ | 2 February 2026 | Sonya Gugliara

America's most millennial cities have been revealed - and the vast majority of them are liberal strongholds.

Census Bureau data from 2024, crunched by the San Francisco Chronicle, identified counties nationwide with the highest concentration of residents from the generation.

Millennials - people born between 1981 and 1996 - tend to be found in trendy, Democrat-led cities which are also often the most expensive metro areas to live.

he same liberal cities are also favorites among the younger generation, known as Gen Z - people born between 1997 and 2012.

According to a Gallup poll, 27 percent of Gen Z identified as Democrats in 2025, while 24 percent of millennials said the same.

This compares with 17 percent of Gen Z Americans who said they were Republican, and 21 percent of millennials.

The largest share in both groups was Independent voters, with 56 percent of Gen-Zers and 54 percent of millennials claiming the title.

Nine out of 10 of the counties with more than 500,000 residents named as dominated by young Americans are home to undeniably blue cities.

Thank you very much and God bless you.

I'm X, but the oldest of this group are in their mid-forties now - list didn't surprise me except for Nashville. I do have a millennial son (conservative), who is miserable in the Denver metro area.

Look into the future.....
And first time voters old enough to vote in 2027.

In 2025, surveys indicated that 62% of Americans aged 18–29 held a “favorable view” of socialism. A 2019 report showed that 70% of millennials and 64% of Gen Z said they would be “somewhat or extremely likely” to vote for a socialist candidate.

“Younger voters have shown high support for democratic socialist politicians and policies, with 70% of Millennials reporting they would be likely to vote for a socialist candidate in some polls.”

“Younger generations (Millennials and Gen Z) are less likely than older generations to favor capitalism; only about 50% have a favorable opinion of it, with some polls showing that, in this demographic, support for socialism is rising to meet or exceed support for capitalism.”

San Francisco, Portland, Seattle - also the cities with the most riots and Brownshirt activity in them.

It’s stupid to tell young people that socialism is bad when they see how the US government gives billions of dollars non-stop to Israel

I just hope the infestation is confined to major cities and they remain a scarce and unwanted minority in the heartland.

At age 67 and a veteran, I know the difference between owning a gun and using it in combat.

These little soy boys and Karens would be in for a very rude surprise.

It's essential to break that down by male/female. I believe that male Gen Z is overwhelmingly Republican and only the females skew Democrat.

Kind of like South Korea.

Going to be bad for our birth rate in the future.

If all the guys are MAGA while the chicks are AWFUL.

Cities are shxtholes run by leftist azzholes full of corruption, crime and fraud because of the azzholes running the shxtholes.

Anyone living in a city gets exactly what they deserve and I have no sympathy for anyone doing so especially those who complain. You made the choice, deal with it.

Eliminate cities and America is bright Red.

Total BS..it’s got nothing to do with Israel and that’s about as pathetic as it get.

It’s about all the government money given to cities and the scum sucking POS leftist. Millennials want some of the free shxt and they need common sense beaten into them.

Yup. There are about a thousand reasons why our demographic problem is going to get worse and worse — and the MAGA/AWFUL divide may be the biggest part of that.

Your definition of socialism is flawed. It would mean I’m practicing socialism every time I make a donation to something or put a buck in an offering plate, which is nonsense.
