The millennials list makes sense as LADDERS listed Utah as one of the states where youll find the highest-earning millennials. Personal finance site WalletHubput together an analysis of the top cities for millennials (Pew Research Center defines millennials as being born from 1981 to 1996) based on rankings that didnt include which cities have the best avocado toast or the most Instagrammable neon signs.
