Wonder how the percentage among people aged 20-29 differs from what we see here

What’s with the constant posting of data points like this to create this false reality that there’s no housing crisis here, or that our housing crisis is “not so bad” compared to other european nations? This graph gives us no useful information whatsoever.

This is skewed because Ireland also has the highest home ownership rate, and parents are letting their adult children continue to live at home — often because they couldn’t otherwise afford decent accommodation.
This is not an indication that the housing market is in any way affordable, even relative to other countries.

No idea what you’re making of this. In Greece, a country with very high home ownership (60-70%), most young adults don’t leave home until they are 26 or 27, a great many until 30 and beyond. I can’t see why the data reflects greek housing market but can’t reflect the rest of them according to the comments.

Just saw a comment from someone saying Dan O’Brien posted this. So that means I’ll happily disregard this.

Is “disposable income” the correct term here? It usually doesn’t include housing or basic food, i.e. the minimum needed to not die in most of Europe.

Wtf is the point of including teenagers?
How about if we look at 20 -29 or even 25-29?
Absolute humbug.

Statistics fiddling from the Fine Gael fanboys. In this case they want us to forget the vast majority of young people either live at home or have their parents fund their rent/mortgage.

This graph is ludicrous.
Simple math would propel us in the Norwegian leagues but this is poor poor reporting. Very disappointing and will be writing an email to Eurostat on this one
