Almost three million adult children living at home in the UK

New research from Saga Home Insurance provides some interesting statistics about the number of adult children living at home in the UK. The key finding is that around 3 million parents over 50 have adult children living at home.

But broken down by age, the stats get much scarier:

  • The average age of adult children living at home is 27
  • About 14% of the adult children living at home are between 31 and 40
  • 32% of parents aged 50–54 have adult children living at home
  • 16% of parents aged 60–64 still have adult kids at home!
