- randomdata 3y agoThe millennials are the largest generational demographic. Add in the adult segment of Generation Z and the elderly are greatly outnumbered. But Generation X holds the balance of power. They are the wildcard.
- GrumpySloth 3y ago> Add in the adult segment of Generation Z That would be about half of them. Baby Boomers + Gen X = 134 million Millenials + half of Gen Z = 107 million Young people are outnumbered, and it’s going to get worse.

- randomdata 3y ago> Young people are vastly outnumbered Not by the elderly, though. Just like I said, and by your own numbers, Generation X holds the balance of power. They are not yet elderly. Even the oldest ones are still in their 50s – the youngest are still in their early 40s.

Good luck hoping for them to vote on tanking house prices.
