Riley County Kansas and Millennials

[TransfemmeGoreVidal]

One underappreciated aspect of Riley County's D trend is that Millennials now make up a majority of the population now, 53% according to Wikipedia. Are there any other examples of counties that have undergone or be on the precipice of a similar political shift due to becoming younger?

That would not be unique among college counties like Riley.

Millennials aren't college age anymore. What is unique is that there's a significant number under the age of 35 whereas other college towns (I haven't seen as many counties) have a dropoff after 22. Maybe housing costs are low in the area.

The data cited in the Wikipedia article is from 2015, when those aged 15-34 (so born between 1981 and 2000) would have overwhelmingly been "Millennials."
