Newly released and analyzed Census data reveals just how much the young adult population in D.C. has changed between 1980 and 2013.

While the population of young adults — defined as people between the ages of 18 and 34 by the Census Bureau — has fluctuated over the past 30 years, it has now slightly exceeded 1980 levels.

The percentage of young adults living with a parent, however, has notably declined.

Young adults who have never been married also make up more of this group than ever before, which mirrors what is going on nationwide.

The difference between young adults who lived in D.C. in 1980 and now can be best seen when looking at the number of college-educated people and how much they make a year.

Despite the increase in median earning for young adults working full-time, the number of young adults living in poverty is essentially the same.

The population of young adults in D.C. who are employed has seen a dramatic decline.

That’s while the number of white young adults who live in D.C. has increased by more than ten percent between 1980 and 2013.
