A new survey reveals that most Australians consider 31 to be the threshold age for adult children to move out of the family home.


Key Points

  • Most Australians view 31 as the ideal age for adult children to leave their parents' home according to survey from Finder.
  • Generational perspectives vary, with Gen Z and Baby Boomers viewing 30 as already too old to still be living at home.
  • Severe rental stress and soaring housing market costs are forcing more young adults to remain with their families longer.
