""The survey data illustrates how certain priorities and opportunities can help more young residents make Greater Boston their home," said Chamber President James Rooney, highlighting the need for targeted efforts to retain young residents."
""The 2026 survey indicates a 'distressing number' of young residents are planning to leave Greater Boston within the next five years: approximately one-quarter (26%), consistent with the 2023 results," reflecting ongoing challenges in the region."
The Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce's 2026 Young Residents Survey reveals that 26% of young residents intend to leave the area within five years, primarily due to affordability concerns. The survey, conducted with 600 respondents aged 20 to 30, examined issues like quality of life and community building. Chamber President James Rooney emphasized the importance of the findings for retaining this demographic. While overall satisfaction remains high, there is a noted decline since 2023, with affordable housing being the main concern for young residents.
