I would say its a combination of the characters - adolescents and people in their 20s - and the topics/storylines are often relateable to experiences had by people in that age bracket. Agree with pwalker8 that YA is more straightforward and direct. I read a lot of YA last year and while some of it was quite enjoyable, it doesn't usually rise to the level of great literature.
But then again there are exceptions. "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn", one of my all time favorite novels, is technically YA.
