Americans are always on the hunt for a new place to live, and millennials are a prime demographic looking for their next home. These people are moving in droves, and they're flocking to all sorts of cities, according to a recent study from SmartAsset.

The website revealed which cities millennials moving to the most in 2023. Analysts broke down how they determined their rankings:

"Data comes from the U.S. Census Bureau 1-Year American Community Survey for 2022. The study included 268 cities that had available data and 100,000 or more people aged 1 or over. Millennials were defined as those aged 25 to 44. Cities were ranked by the percentage of the total population represented by millennials who moved into the city in 2022."

Two cities in Florida landed in the Top 30. Orlando ranked at No. 25 with roughly 8.8% of the city's population, or 27,508 millennials, moving in last year. This demographic makes up 36.9% of The City Beautiful's total population.

Tampa came in the No. 28 spot. Over 34,000 millennials moved into this beloved city last year, and they make up more than 31% of the total population.
