The Reluctant Roomers: How Young Adults Are Redefining Home Ownership Young adults under 30 are increasingly living at home, with nearly half relying on parental support or external financial aid.
This trend has far reaching implications for marriage, family planning, and housing markets. Just two years ago, a third of young adults lived at home; now the number is up to 49%.
The data reveals that many young adults struggle financially. In addition to living with their parents, nearly half (47%) rely on external financial support, covering expenses ranging from cell phone bills to rent.
