These Are The Ages That The Average Adult ‘Moves Out’ Across European Countries<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Leaving home <\/strong>and setting off to build one\u2019s own life is considered a key pillar of adulthood in many countries.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s the proverbial mark at which societies deem a person fit and able to architect and maintain the trajectory of their own life.<\/p>\n

However, as Visual Capitalist’s Pallavi Rao shows below, <\/a>not all cultures and family structures are the same<\/strong>. And sometimes economies can influence the ability<\/strong> to move out.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

We rank the European countries by the average age at which people leave their parental homes, as sourced from\u00a0Eurostat<\/a>\u00a0data, current up to 2023.<\/em><\/p>\n

When Do Europeans Leave the Nest?<\/h2>\n

Balkan countries, and Southern Europe as a whole, likes to leave the parental nest a little later in life.<\/p>\n

The average age for moving out in seven countries\u2014all from the region\u2014is either at or above 30.<\/p>\n

Cultural factors (strong family bonds) and economic pressures (high rents compared to lower local wages) combine to influence higher moving out age in the region.<\/p>\n

Another interesting correlation is how the same countries tend to have\u00a0higher home ownership rates<\/a>\u00a0(Romania, Slovakia, and Croatia all above 90%) indicating that renting is not a popular choice for residents.<\/p>\n

Multigenerational families are also more common\u00a0across the region<\/a>, a holdover from a more agricultural-oriented society, stronger Church, and weaker welfare state and institutions.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, in Nordic countries, Finland, Sweden and Denmark, the average age of moving out is in the 21 to 22 range. <\/strong>Similarly, their home ownership rates are much lower in comparison.<\/p>\n
