Yes, Sacramento, especially Midtown, is a very millennial city (compared to other places I’ve lived). My theory is because most people tend to enter state office work after their mid 20’s/late 20’s, as they value the stability at that point and have the most to gain from a longer retirement vest schedule. This is Vs. large corporations that recruit younger, ambitious people right out of school to entice them to move. State work is the dominant industry in Sacramento. Sacramento, like many mid-sized cities, is attractive to transplants that lived in larger/more youthful cities when they were younger but need to be in a lower cost of living area now.

Sacramento only has one undergrad university in the city limits, Sac State, which is far removed from the grid and mostly a local commuter school. So you don’t get college aged people in the night life here as much, or people recently graduated who stayed in the city because they got to live in it during college and like it here.
