Where are the 20- to 34-year-olds? Boston

Boston has the highest proportion of 20- to 34-year-olds among the nation’s biggest cities, according to 2010 US Census figures analyzed by Boston's Redevelopment Authority. More than one-third of the 617,594 people counted in the city during last year's census reported that they are between age 20 and 34. The 216,213 Bostonians in that age range during 2010 translates into an 11 percent jump from the previous decade. So, we're number one. But where are other areas of the country with high ratios of this demographic, as reported by the census? Look through this gallery for a rundown.
