A poll conducted in 2013 among 18 to 30-year-olds also showed that Cardiff is the “best city” in UK for young adults because of its low cost of living and its reinvention over the past 20 years through sustained investment, with a focus on sporting, cultural and leisure infrastructure.

Dr Esmee Hanna, an expert in demographics who was commissioned to write the report told BBC: ”The city appears to have a lot to offer young adults, such as good job opportunities, decent wages and the ability to put money aside each month - all factors that 18 to 30-year-olds deem important to their lifestyle.”
