  Yuppie - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Yuppie, short for "Young Urban Professional," describes a demographic of people comprising baby boomers as well as people in their late twenties and early thirties.
Yuppies tend to hold jobs in the professional sector, with incomes that place them in the upper-middle economic class.
Although the original yuppies were "young," the term now applies as well to people of middle age.

 Talk:Yuppie - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This was a term used by US political pollsters in the late 60's to 70's when they found that many young professionals were neither Republicans nor Democrats.
That is, the term described educated professionals, in their twenties or early thirties, who were moving back into the downtown core of cities.
In many areas people are no longer moving back into the central urban cores (or at least not at as fast a rate), so people have tried to salvage the concept by switching to other variables like "up and coming".

 Definition of :: yue :: by Spell-Dictionary
Perhaps more telling even than the derivatives were all the variations on the theme of yuppie that journalists turned out in the second half of the decade, including yuffie (young urban failure), yummie (young upwardly-mobile mommy), and those listed under buppie, guppie, woopie, and yappie.
Even the abbreviated form acquired derivatives: the language of yups was Yuppese or Yupspeak, a young female yup was a yuppette (compare hackette), their preferred type of car was a yupmobile, and so on.
The yup backlash is such that many people will no longer speak the 'Y word' and others are spurning pesto for pot pies.

 'A sense of place' fueling rebirth of old neighborhoods
Today, the Marmalade district is in the midst of an Avenues-like renaissance as young professionals are slowly erasing the symptoms of blight with trendy restorations and architectural face lifts.
Quite simply, urban planners are coming to the realization that not everyone wants to live in a shiny new suburb where every house comes with two-car garages and mammoth yards that need to be mowed every weekend.
Just as the Sugar House, Avenues and Marmalade districts are now trendy for young professionals, she is predicting a renaissance for Rose Park, Central City and old Murray — all somewhat blighted areas where the houses have an appealing architectural character and convenient location.

 CCRL: California Center for Regional Leadership
Warkentin said the urban center could bring in specialty business and shops, such as ballet studios, art galleries, a theater for the performing arts and music specialty shops, all of which can be supported only by urban-style development.
The urban center could also eventually become the destination for a civic center if the Menifee Valley ever incorporates, and would be the perfect spot for a branch university, which is also lacking in Southwest County.
To attract young people right out of college, the county needs the urban development that provides the nightlife, cultural amenities and lifestyle that young people are looking for, Bishop said.

Here's an article from abcnews.com that talks about the reasons some young professionals are giving up the cosmopolitan scene for a quieter existence in the "boonies."
For years, career mobility and security meant moving to larger and larger cities, living in the sticks was a death knell for promising professionals, and small communities were drained of young adults heading to major metropolitan areas for jobs.
Now, however, smaller cities and towns, aided by advances in technology and lower housing prices, are luring away urban professionals seeking a better life.

Much of it is being driven by a generation of young professionals interested in anything "earth friendly" to create their own urban oasis.
Well-educated young people are disproportionately drawn to Portland, according to Joe Cortright, economist and coauthor of "Young and Restless: How Portland Competes for Talent," a study of the migration of 25- to 34-year-olds across the US.
