Working with Metro Council District 21 leadership, data was collected, analyzed and mapped showing the disparity in auto insurance premiums in Louisville Metro. This data was used to strengthen the decision to exclude hikes in auto insurance premiums for the next budget.

Since 2013, Louisville has gained more young adults 25-34 with less than a Bachelor's degree than those with a BA or higher. Greensboro is the only peer city that like Louisville, has grown more sub-BA young adults than BA+ young adults. A few cities have seen a decline in their sub-BA young adult populations (Birmingham, Omaha, Indianapolis, Richmond), but this loss is more than offset by a gain of BA+ young adults. Nashville and Raleigh have seen the largest growth in educated young adults, and also have the largest overall growth rate for young adults (surprise!). Richmond's gain of BA+ young adults is on par with Nashville and Raleigh, but due to a loss of sub-BA young adults, it's overall growth rate is lower. Charlotte and Indianapolis have also seen impressive growth rates in their BA+ young adults.Louisville's overall young adult growth rate is slightly below the national average, and ranks 10th among peer cities. Louisville's growth among sub-BA young adults is 2 percentage points greater than the national average. Louisville's growth among BA+ adults is 2.5 percentage points below the national average.
