are fairing worse in Jacksonville than many other places, according to a couple of recent surveys on their job market and living standards.

Notably, the majority of the best cities for this generation are concentrated in the Northeast, Midwest and Southwest. Only Atlanta — ranked No. 1 — and Jacksonville — ranked No. 23 — made the top 25 list from the Southeast,, which is a real estate listing service owned by data firm Yardi Matrix. Those eight categories were: affordability, percentage of Gen Zers, school enrollment, unemployment rate, internet speed, recreational establishments, green commuting and parks per 10,000 residents.

The First Coast's best category was for affordability, ranking as the 12th most affordable place to live for this demographic. However, the region was near the bottom of the pack when it came to the overall numbers of Gen Zers living here as well as the relatively high unemployment rate for the age bracket.
