The Pew Research Center recently released some interesting statistics:

• 13% of parents with grown children say one of their adult sons or daughters has moved back home in the past year
• 10% of adults ages 18 to 34  say the poor economy has forced them to move back in with Mom and Dad
• 11% of all adults 18 or older live with their parents in their home
• Only seven-in-ten grown children who live with their parents are younger than 30 (that means 30% of them are over 30)
• Of all adults who report they currently live in their parents’ home, about a third (35%) say they had lived independently at some point in their lives before returning home
