In

for
the
first
time
in
more
than
130
years,
adults
ages18to34were
slightly
more
likely
tobe

among
young

has
been
livingwith
a

This

of

18-to

It's
worth
noting
that
the
overallshare
of
young
adults
living
with
their
parents
was
not
at
a
record
high
in
2014.
This
arrangem
ent
peaked
around
1940,
when
about
35%of
the
nation's
18-to
34-
year
-olds
lived
withmom
and/or
dad
(compared
with
32%
in
201

haschanged,
instead,
is
therelative
share
adopting
differe
ntways
of
living
in
early
adulthood,
with
the
decline
of
romantic
c
oupling
pushing
living
at
home
to
the
top
of
a
much
less
uniform
l
istof
living
arrangements.
Among

adults,

In

8%of
youngmen
were
living

Young

arestill
more
likely
tobe

with
aspouse

they
aretobe

(29%).
[F]
In
2014,more
young
women(16%)than
young
men(13%)were
heading
up
a
householdwithout
aspouse
or
partner.
Thisismainly
because
womenare
more
likely
than
men
to
besingle
parents
livi
ng
with
their
children.
For
their
part,
young
men(25%)are
more

The

In

a

In

ha
velikely
contributed
tothe
growing

of
young

who
are

and
this
is
especially
true
of
young

The

peaked

at84%.
In
2014,only71%of1
8-to34-year-old

(after

on

risen.
