You are not wrong. I'm only asking which of the places I've listed is most saturated with these sorts of families, even if it is still a small number relative to the general population.
I don't think it's very common to have more than 2 kids these days.
There is a lot of talk these days about America's demographic winter. And it's definitely a thing. I'm living in a country with a birthrate nearly double that of the US, and as you would expect there are kids everywhere. When I'm back in the US the older population and void of children is actually the thing I notice most.
I'm wondering which of these urban areas is most full of hip, young, middle class couples with kids. "Hip" is kind of a weird term, and I suppose I really just mean yuppie or upwardly mobile or whatever. Millennial yuppies are kind of notorious for having lots of dogs but not lots of kids. I'm asking where they do have lots of kids.
You didn't list Philadelphia which has a ton of millennials with children now. I know because I live among them. Fwiw, I'm a Boomer and I definitely feel outnumbered.
Just curious. Where are you going in the US that isn't awash with strollers nowadays?
Honestly the USA is kinda a dead place. We are more about consuming than childrearing. We don't mind being genetic dead ends. Honestly no big city, especially the hip ones, have all that many parents.
Ah, no. Japan and Italy are genetic dead ends. Or will likely be in the not too distant future.
Yuppie. Bourgeois, but in a socially conscious way. Basically I want to know where a lot of people are like the Obamas, but with three and four kids per family (which I don't actually think is Chicago).
I'm seeing young children all the time but it probably won't be on the level of the Boomer years with a lot stay at home moms.
This describes so many millennial families (typically a 2:1 pet to child ratio, which ends up being 2 dogs and one kid or a dog and a cat and one kid, exactly 1 kid being the most important part). Really can't stand most people in my generation tbh. I'd say definitely don't look anywhere coastal, as this attracts the insufferable yup types at a disproportionate rate. Where I am in Cleveland isn't too bad (Cleveland Heights/University Heights, if interested) in this regard. I even know two couples who got married before age 25! But the number of kids is still not quite what it was when I was a kid.
Introduction of birth control pills coincided almost exactly with the official end of the Boomer years. So, yes, it's doubtful there will be a boom quite like the 50s boom anytime soon. Millennials do outnumber Boomers now but only by a couple of million.
It's not even remotely close. What are you talking about, "probably"?
I think the birthrate today is roughly half what it was at the peak of the 1950s baby boom. Because there are more people overall there will obviously be more kids. But as a percentage of that overall population kids are a vastly smaller number. There are far less kids per adult than during the baby boom.
