I'm not discussing the metro at large, I'm talking about the city, which has an average age of only 30.8 years. This is lower than other major cities.
San Francisco - 38.5
NYC - 35.6
Seattle - 35.0
Los Angeles - 34.1
Washington DC - 33.8
Chicago - 33.7
Denver - 33.7
Philadelphia - 32.7
Houston - 32.3
Boston - 30.8
I'm sure if I kept looking I would find some sunbelt cities which have average ages in the 20s. But due to the extremely heavy college enrollment, Boston is one of the youngest major cities in the country.
