Bellevue bests Seattle for top Washington cities for millenial job seekers, according to an analysis by consumer finance site NerdWallet, that population growing nearly 10.5 percent from 2010 to 2013.

“It’s also kind of where are the places where there’s the biggest bang for your buck for jobs and payroll,” said Spencer Tierney, NerdWallet analyst, of the report.

The millenial population in Bellevue – many seeking or landing tech sector jobs – was at 29,624 or 23 percent in 2013. The average worker payroll in 2012 was $77,376.

Seattle still tops Bellevue with a 187,477 millenial population in 2013, but only grew 7.6 percent from 2010 to 2013 and with a 2012 average worker payroll of $62,215. That placed it fourth on NerdWallet’s list, just under Bellevue, Tierney said.

Redmond topped NerdWallet’s list with only 15,287 millenials in 2013, but a $123,152 average worker payroll in 2012 and a lower unemployment rate than either Seattle or Bellevue, at 4.4 percent. Richland came in second in the rankings.
