- What Magic: The Gathering’s record year reveals about America’s stalled adulthood economy
Magic: The Gathering generated $1.72 billion in 2025 revenue, a 59% increase, becoming Hasbro's top profit driver. The surge in card sales coincided with a decline in doll sales, reflecting millennials' shifting spending as economic factors delay adulthood and parenthood. New research reveals a 53% true U.S. homeownership rate (vs. 65% previously reported), with significant disparities among adults under 35.
- The millennial generation has split, new Fed research shows: Those over 35 are edging toward boomer-style wealth, while everyone else falls behind
Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis research reveals a generational split in U.S. millennials, with those over 35 nearing boomers' wealth levels while younger peers lag. A new metric, HPOP, shows under-35 homeownership at 22% (vs. 37% in traditional measures) due to uncounted non-owners in owner-occupied homes, such as adult children or roommates.
- America’s homeownership rate may not be what you think
The U.S. homeownership rate may be overstated when measured by homes rather than individuals. A traditional measure counts 65% of occupied homes as owner-occupied, while the Homeowners-to-Population Ratio (HPOP) shows only 53% of adults own homes, excluding those living in owner-occupied homes without personal ownership. Shifts in homeownership patterns, such as younger adults struggling to buy homes and older adults staying longer, contribute to the disparity.
