Here's how many of Tampa Bay's young adults live with their parents

Nearly one in five young adults in Tampa Bay lives with their parents, slightly above the national average.

Why it matters: While living at home as a young adult is sometimes viewed negatively as a "failure to launch," it can also reflect economic realities, cultural preferences, caregiving needs and other factors.

• The national average is down a bit after steadily increasing from 2000-2017, a period marked by multiple financial crises that changed the leaving-home calculus for many young adults.
