About these figures

Estimated average age at which young people leave their parents' home.

An estimate Eurostat works out from its household survey.

Iceland, Norway, Switzerland and the Western Balkan countries are ranked too, but are not in the EU average.

Ranks and colour steps are ours. Eurostat is not responsible for how the figures are shown here. See the figures on Eurostat's site.
