The percentage of young adults living with parents, grandparents, or older siblings or roommates has nearly tripled since 1971, new data from the Pew Research Center shows.<\/p>\n
In a 2021 survey of nearly 10,000 Americans, one in four adults from ages 25 to 34 lived in a “multigenerational family household” \u2014 defined as a household of adults 25 and older that includes two or more generations. About 9% of adults had these living circumstances in 1971, the report said.<\/p>\n
While most young adults in multigenerational households lived in households led by one (39%) or two parents (47%) \u2014 the most common arrangements \u2014 about 14% lived in a household headed by someone other than a parent, such as a grandparent, sibling, roommate or an unmarried partner.<\/p>\n
In contrast, 15% of young adults had at least one parent who had moved in with them, according to Pew.<\/p>\n
