When do people leave their parents' home?

The average age varies enormously by country: 21.4 in Finland to 30.1 in Italy. In the US, it's about 27 — up from 24 in the 1990s. The rising cost of housing is the main driver worldwide.

Average age of leaving parental home (Eurostat & Census)

  • Finland: 21.4 (earliest in EU)
  • United Kingdom: 24.5
  • Germany: 23.7
  • United States: 27.0 (Census 2023)
  • Japan: 28.5
  • South Korea: 29.8
  • Spain: 29.5
  • Italy: 30.1 (latest in EU)

The trend is clear: later and later

  • 52% of US 18-29 year olds lived with parents in 2024 (historic high)
  • Main reasons: housing costs, student debt, delayed marriage
  • In Southern Europe, living with parents until 30+ is culturally normal
  • The pandemic accelerated "boomerang" moves back home
