This from the US Census Bureau

 A newly released report by the US Census Bureau explores changes in the shares of young adults who reached markers of adulthood.

Moving out of the parental home, getting a job, tying the knot, and having kids used to be the most common pathway to adulthood, with almost half of 25- to 34-year-olds having experienced all four milestones in 1975.

Nearly 50 years later, less than a quarter of U.S. adults this age had done the same.

"Findings suggest that young adults today prioritize economic security over starting a family, reflecting the rising burden of housing, food, gas, and other costs."
