Parents with children under 5 are shunning big cities faster than everyone else.
But the flight of young parents and a shrinking population might mean cities have to compete to keep you.
A new report from the Economic Innovation Group, or EIG, found that families with young kids are shunning big cities.
That created a nexus of families with young children just outside of cities, what the report calls a "donut effect."
But for cities that are shedding young families but still hold allure, like New York, the reshaping might be more of a rethinking of their value proposition.
