People who write headlines are trash. Moving out and living on your own is extremely atypical in human history and not very economical.

I’d be more interested in seeing the stats broke even more down. I feel like it makes sense that 18-24 year olds are living with parents but after that, if there’s a fast growth of 25-29 year olds living with parents then we have a major problem.

18 to 29 is a crazy age range to use here like I think it’s weird if you aren’t living with your parents at 18

Facts! This is the sad reality of America. In other cultures it’s not like this. Families stick together. America? Get out of your parents house once 18 or you’re a loser and a failure

Wonderful point. I got curious so I did a little research. There’s a Pew article from Sept 2020 talking about the increase among that group of living at home that year (from 47% in Feb, 52% by Jul). It says 18-24 year olds accounted for 81%% of that growth. So in July 2020 it was 71% 18-24 and only 28% 25-29.

In 1900 it was 41% of 18-29 year olds. It peaked at 48% in 1940 before sharply decreasing; no doubt, the aftermath of WWII. And ever since its lowest point of 29% in 1960, it’s been steadily rising. Back up to 38% by 2000 and only surpassing the pre-WWII high of 48; no doubt, due to the Covid Shutdowns…

Doesn’t help she tells us constantly (my siblings and I are 22-30. I’m 24) that when she was our age, she already had a kid blah blah blah. Mom. It’s now 2026. Not 1990s
