Today’s young adults are also more likely to be at home for an extended stay compared with previous generations of young adults, according to the Pew Research Center. As of 2016, 15 percent of twenty-five-to-thirty-five-year-old adults were living in their parents’ home. This represents a 50 percent increase over the share of Generation Xers who lived in their parents’ home in 2000 at the same age, and nearly double the share of the Silent Generation who lived at home in 1964.
