Young Californians are increasingly living at their parents’ homes, according to recent data analysis, and some say state and local government actions have contributed to that trend.
U.S. Census Bureau data shows that about 38 percent of Californians ages 18–34 live with their parents, compared with the national average of 34 percent. An analysis by Zillow found that more millennials live at their parents’ homes in places where their rent takes up a larger share of their income, while California has the third highest rent burden in the nation after Florida and Hawaii, according to a report by Apartment List.
