The share of young adults that live in their parents home continues to rise despite the fact that the job market has improved and household formation is increasing.
To understand more about this trend, the Terner Center for Housing Innovation at UC Berkeley tapped data from the Census Bureau and Pew Research Center to examine headship rate (the number of households divided by the adult population). They broke that data down into three components: adult population growth, shifts in the age distribution, and changes in the headship rate.
