Young Adults Move More Often Than In The Past

When you’re young, there are many things that might lead you to look for a new place to live. Maybe you’re moving because you want to be closer to a new job or you’ve started a family and need more space. Whatever the case, there’s nothing strange about being on the move when you’re young.

In fact, the percentage of 25-to-34 year olds who have lived in their home for less than two years has risen to 45.3 percent in recent years. By comparison, it was 33.8 percent in 1960.

That means, settling down and establishing a long-term living situation is less of a priority. There have also been changes to the way the typical young American builds a career.
