Millennials dethrone baby boomers as largest generation
Move over, boomers.
The selfie-loving, emoji-using, “Broad City”-watching millennial generation is now the largest living age cohort in the country, according to new 2015 figures from the U.S. Census Bureau analyzed by Pew Research.
The roughly 75.4 million millennials, defined as those ages18 to 35 in 2015, have dethroned the 74.9 million baby boomers, those ages 51 to 69 in 2015, who were previously the nation’s largest generation.
Generation X, the middle generation that includes people ages 35 through 50 in 2015, is expected to surpass the boomers in population by 2028, according to Pew's projections.
By 2036, Pew estimates that the millennial generation’s population will peak at 81.1 million with the increase fueled by immigration. Baby boomers peaked in 1999 with 78.8 million people. By 2050, Pew projects this generation will fall to 16.6 million.
Millennials have become the coveted generation to reach in the 2016 presidential election. A new Harvard poll found that in a head-to-head match-up against the two primary front-runners, 61 percent of this age cohort said they would vote for Hillary Clinton compared to 25 percent who said they would vote for Donald Trump. The poll also found that Bernie Sanders was the only one of the five candidates with a net positive rating. Fifty-four percent of millennials viewed him favorably. Thirty-seven percent viewed Clinton favorably
