This paper analyzes the age of young adults' departure from their parents' home and their likelihood of owning a home in their thirties. Statistics show that young Canadians who leave home at age 24 or 25 are most likely to become homeowners in their thirties. Canadians who leave home at 16 or 17 are just as unlikely as those who leave at age 28 to 30 to own a home in their thirties.
