      Data not available in Turkey because it’s almost impossible to leave your parental house because of prices.

      Data on Poland are completely unreliable. Local statistic office is not tracking it just relying on address self-reporting (meldunek) which almost no one updates. Especially not young people. Especially not when renting.

      So most young people ends up with “meldunek” in their family home, even though they moved long time ago. 

    3. I’m amazed with the figure of The Netherlands. We are in a severe housing crisis, most of my friends have difficulties finding a house and we live far outside of the largest cities in NL. We are in our late twenties, so I imagined the country to be a bit more dark green on the chart than it currently is.

      In Finland it is pretty easy to move out of your parents home because of relatively cheap student housing.

    5. Why the color coding is so backwards? Is it some kind of shilling?

      8 in the morning, on the day after I passed my last high school exam:

      Mom: Wake up!
      Satedrabbit: Huh? What’s going on?
      Mom: There’s a room for rent in the neighboring town. I’ve called them, and booked a tour of it in 2 hours.
      Satedrabbit: Room? Wait, what’s going on?
      Mom: You’re gonna rent the room, and move out of here by the end of the month! Got it?

      Ehm yeah, I live in a <22 country

      This sounds insane to me (I’m from Ukraine). Not in the bad way, just shocking.

      I’ve left studying at 17 and never looked back. I think our average is fairly below 26y for sure.

      Didn’t know my country joined the EU (BiH). Must’ve been this *fast-tracked accession* everyone is talking about.

      Leaved my parents house before national average by more then 5 years, not like anybody recognize you any success in this or you can do something that someone with decent relatives at home couldn’t.

      Being a totally indepedent adult has no real advantages, unless you had physical violence at home.

      No one is looking at “average” when they look at this map. They’re looking at the VAST difference between North and South.

      The main reason why people don’t move out at a younger age must be cost of living. There will of course be exceptions where people stay with their parents for other reasons, but money must be the main issue.

      When I enrolled in uni, my parents told me they’d let me stay at home until I’m well-off enough to buy a house, unless I have to move for work to another city and start renting there.

      I also get a “commuter student” scholarship from my uni, which is very nice and helps me pay for public transit passes, books and other stuff. In my uni, you count as a commuter student if you live more than 90 mins away from uni, by public transit (not by car).

      Most of my friends commute to other cities for uni or work every day (Bologna, Parma, Modena, etc.). Some of them have moved from Southern Italy or from the Alps to Bologna and they’re renting a room, but their parents usually pay for them. You can get subsidies if you’re super poor, but for a middle-class family they’re pretty unaccessible.

      Others work to pay their rent as they’re studying, but I’d never be able to do it. Hence my situation.

      My parents have always told me studying is a full-time job so I don’t need to work. It’s been like this since forever.

      I do, however, want to move out before I’m 30. I’ll keep grinding.

      It’s just that prices are so high, and our salaries so low…

      For the UK from the impression I’ve got is that people leave home very young, pretty much leaving at 18 the moment you got a job and found a place to rent but I believe in recent years that has changed.

      Me personally I stayed till mid 20s working several years prior to that. It’s an incredibly effective way to be able to afford a house depending on where you live, but the fact you have to spend several years working whilst living at your parents is kinda saying of our times.

      Thank you so much for making a new shade of grey to remind me that data is not available for my country!

      I feel so included. I love being represented as beautiful light gray instead of disgusting dark gray.

      When did Norway and Bosnia and Herzegovina become EU members?

    16. _KimJongSingAlong on

      Not unsurprising to see this stat. All my friends moved out before 22 (Netherlands). We have a housing crisis, yes in the randstad. Outside it’s easy to find a place

    17. SixSevenEmpire on

      Whe have a zoom for Lichtenstein only to see their data aren’t available

    18. DisclosedForeclosure on

      These days, young kids leave home at a young age cuz they rich, young me left home cuz was cramped in a 2×2 shoebox and just couldn’t stand my folks’ grumbling, we’re not the same.
