Generation Pulse — Where Young Owners Are Gaining
Reventure App charges $19–49 a month for a "where are millennials moving" map. The Census makes B25007 (homeowner age tenure) and B07001 (geographic mobility by age) public. This page surfaces the rank: counties with the highest current millennial owner share, paired with cohort migration inflows when the ACS B07001 fetcher has populated.
Highest millennial-owner share Reagan County Texas · 20.8% owners aged 25–44
U.S. county median millennial share 7.7% half of counties exceed this; half fall below
Cohort migration data Pending CI fetcher queued — refreshes on next weekly build
Top 75 counties — highest millennial owner share
High millennial owner concentration is a leading indicator: places where 25–44s are outbidding boomers today are where the next decade's price growth will concentrate. Cohort migration columns light up automatically when B07001 finishes its first sync.

Lowest millennial owner share — boomer-dominant counties
Counties where 25–44 owners are scarce. Often retirement destinations, slow-growth rural, or markets priced out of reach for first-time buyers.

Method
- Millennial owner % = ACS B25007 derived. Owner-occupied housing units headed by 25-44 year olds, divided by total owner-occupied units in the county. Updated annually with the ACS 5-year release.
- Boomer owner % = ACS B25007 derived. Owner-occupied units headed by 60-78 year olds, similarly normalized.
- Cohort migration via ACS B07001. The optional cohort columns (Young 25–44 Inflow + % of Total) come from a separate fetcher (
scripts/fetch-acs-migration-cohorts.mjs) that pulls B07001 across all U.S. counties. Aggregates within-state, cross-state, and abroad inflows by age bucket. - Why both lenses matter. Owner-age tenure is a stock variable — who lives there now. Cohort migration is a flow — who's moving in. A county with low millennial stock but high young inflow is a market in transition; a county with high stock and low inflow is mature.
- This is not a transaction-by-buyer-age feed. ATTOM and CoreLogic sell that. ACS gives us household head age (the closest free proxy) and migration-by-age (the closest free flow signal).
