The data obtained from RentCafe signals a shift away from Boston, where millennials remain largely renters. In the Worcester metro area, millennial homeowners increased by 80% from 2018 to 2023, outpacing national growth and lifting Gen Y homeownership in Worcester to about 55%. Within Worcester, millennial renting also rose by about 13% in the same period, suggesting a broader movement up the housing ladder rather than a simple ownership surge. According to an Axios Boston report, Boston continues to have a renter-majority among millennials. Approximately 48% own a home and 52% rent, underscoring Worcester's relative affordability as a key driver. The Worcester trend stands in contrast to Springfield, where home ownership growth has nearly reached 80% over five years. Based on these real estate figures, a similar ascent to homeownership could slowly unfold in other Massachusetts cities over time.
