Young adults are opting for more balance environments to live in, not to mention less costly and
more job choices. There is a growing trend for millennials to choose cities and states that offer
a more well-rounded lifestyle—an urban vibe and 15-to-30-minute drive to nature and leisure
activities—the perfect combo! This trend is clearly seen in the recent US Census Bureau’s per
decade, a reallocation of congressional seats.

Let’s Push The Dirt Here

Why do young adults choose less crowded metropolises like Dallas, Houston, Austin, Denver, and
Orlando? This is seen in the reallocation of congressional seats with Texas gaining 3, 2, and 1 seat
for other states. This has positive implications for women that push the dirt in these states. Real
estate market is booming with an influx of fresh dirt being excavated to build communities.

Millennials appreciate the fact that states like Texas, Colorado, Arizona, and Florida offer more job
choices and cultural amenities as well as are closer to nature and leisure activities. Pushing Dirt
means a more holistic approach to offering properties. Aside from ensuring they get the location and
amenities, women pushing dirt should also consider more environmentally friendly communities.
Expect a more vibrant and innovative marketplace.

Political Implications of the Trend

The shift also indicates a fresh perspective in political views with more states flipping to the
Democratic party. Progressive voters in previously conservative states will bring a fresh outlook and
change for people that hold key government positions.

Economics

Key cities such as New York, L.A., and San Francisco, who have lost their luster as tech companies
and innovators, including the film industry; have moved to more economically friendly states where
the cost of living is still affordable enough that young adults gravitate toward them. Millennials
are not ready to sacrifice their lifestyle to a high cost of living. So, thriving tech and innovative
businesses move to locations where they can attract new talents.

The bottom line is that this is a good time for pushing dirt.
