It's often overlooked but it is the #1 city for millennial growth rates (age 20 - 34) that are prime renters.  

I see all these know-nothing millennials running to Oakland without giving it much thought.

The millennials, boomers and immigrants are renting more and that is expected to continue.  

They include:Growing EconomyJob GrowthPopulation GrowthInvestment Property AffordabilityCash Flow and Equity GrowthGrowing EconomyTampa’s growing economy is largely a result of a city government that advocates for economic development that has furthered a real estate investment boom, making Tampa one of the most popular destinations for millennial entrepreneurs.

That coupled with the fact that Philadelphia has seen a rise in population over the past 5 years, with the large majority of residents falling in the millennial generation. 

Millennial also all first came into the housing market while they watched their parents lose their asses, they make life long renters, also the baby boomers...they are downsizing, want an ease of living and don't want the maintenance...great renters.

Right now there is a huge surge of Millennials moving from the Bay Area to Sacramento, which is driving up prices and rents like you wouldn't believe.

Millennials, move-up buyers, 50+, who? 

Maybe Indy can develop more workspace entrepreneur thinktanks, that would be a great way to lure in the millennials (that and brew pubs, Indy has great pubs!)
