Introduction
This paper provides a look at the characteristics of young adults age 25 to 34, by whether they are living as a child of the householder. The first section presents descriptive statistics about young adults by living arrangement. The second section shows results from a multivariate model that examines which characteristics of the young adult and their household are associated with living in their parents’ household will also be shown. The paper uses two nationally representative data sources-the 2004 panel of the Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP), Wave 2, and the 2004 American Community Survey (ACS). SIPP data include information about the reason the young adult did not have a job, as well as marital history information, fertility history, and detailed living arrangements. ACS data used in this paper include information about the type of housing and property value which is not available in SIPP.
