Gen Z's Housing Reality: Record Rates Living at Home Delay Homeownership
TL;DR Summary
Gen Z is delaying homeownership with a record share of 25- to 34-year-olds living with parents or grandparents—nearly 20%, about 7.5 million people—as entry costs rise, starter homes shrink, and rents have jumped up to about 30% since 2020. Even many employed young adults face a housing-cost hurdle, not just a weak job market, leading economists to expect Gen Z to catch up to prior generations only once conditions improve.
