Most Young Adults Living With Parents Are Employed: Data Points to Housing Affordability, Not Jobs AUSTIN, Texas , June 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- A record 25.2 million adults under 35 lived with their parents in 2025, surpassing even the pandemic peak, as housing costs continue to price young adults out of independent living, according to a new Realtor.com ® report released today . One in 3 adults under 35 now shares a roof with a parent, a rate that has held near its 2020 record high with little sign of easing. The numbers reflect the accumulated weight of more than a decade of housing underproduction, which has kept persistent upward pressure on housing costs. Had early-2000s co-residence patterns held, 4.86 million fewer young adults would be living with their parents today. Instead, a national median home listing price of $430,000 — 34.4% above 2019 levels — and a median asking rent of $1,673 — 17.9% above 2019 levels — have made independent living financially out of reach for millions.

At 33.0%, the share of young adults living at home is just below the all-time high of 33.6% in 2020. If early-2000s co-residence rates had held, 4.86 million fewer adults would be living with their parents today. Seven in 10 adults aged 25–34 at home are employed, suggesting this is a housing cost story, not a jobs story. A supply gap of 4 million units and a median home listing price 34% above pre-pandemic levels mean the basic math of independent living isn’t working for millions of young adults. The classic Father’s Day image of adult children visiting for a celebratory meal has shifted. For a growing number of families, those children never actually moved out or have moved back in.  A record-breaking 25.2 million adults under 35 remain in their childhood bedrooms rather than launching into their own ho…

Full Nesters: 1 in 3 Young Adults Live With Their Parents [Study] According to the most recent Census figures, 33% of young adults aged 18-34 live with their parents , nearing the historic highs seen during the COVID-19 pandemic. But why is it rising, and where is it rising the fastest? To find out, our research team analyzed housing data from all 50 states and reviewed historical trends from the U.S. Census Bureau for adults aged 18 to 34. The analysis revealed that this rise shows no signs of slowing, and revealed interesting regional trends in the living situations of young Americans. Key Findings Nearly one in three 18- to 34-year-olds live with their parents , nearing pandemic-era levels (33.6% in 2020). This rate has been increasing every decade since the 1960s. Men aged 25 to 34 are significantly more likely than women to live with their parents (19.2% versus 13.6%, respectively). New Jersey, Connecticut, and California had the highest rates of adults living with their parents, with New Jersey and Connecticut coming in at over 40%. Cultural trends: Though not technically a state, Puerto Rico has extremely high rates of adults living with parents (57.5%). Young people aged 2…
