Recently, there have been a number of stories about millennials moving back in with their parents. For millennial men, around 35% of them live with a parent, as opposed to 28% who live with a significant other, according to data from Zillow.
"With home prices and rents rising as fast as they are, it's a common assumption that young adults in many cases cannot afford to live alone," Svenja Gudell, chief economist at Zillow, said in a news release.
"Though that may be true in some markets, there's still a large number of amazing places across the U.S. that are prime for millennials to thrive independently"
And she's right. In some areas of the country, millennials have found a way to make living alone work.
In areas with a robust jobs market and relatively high incomes, millennials are moving out of mom's basement and into a place of their own.
The numbers are small, though. Only 8.9% of millennials live alone in the US, according to data from Zillow.
