The numbers confirm it: far more millennials live with their parents than the baby boomer generation did at their age, a new Statistics Canada study shows.<\/p>\n

Housing affordability has been on the decline in Canada since 2011, a Wednesday study \u2014 titled \u2018Millennials in the Canadian housing market\u2019 \u2014 shows.<\/p>\n

In 2021, 16.3 per cent of millennials between the ages of 25 and 39 were living with at least one parent.<\/p>\n

This figure is almost twice the proportion of baby boomers (8.2 per cent) living with their parents in 1991, when they were in the same age range. When Gen X Canadians were in that age range, in 2006, that figure was 12.2 per cent.<\/p>\n

In 2021, more than one in four (26.1 per cent) millennials in Toronto lived with a parent, compared to almost one in five (19.3 per cent) millennials in Vancouver, according to Statistics Canada data.<\/p>\n

In 1991, almost three in four (74.4 per cent) people in that age range lived with a spouse or a child, compared to less than two in three (62.8 per cent) in 2021. In 2006, that figure was 69.7 per cent.<\/p>\n

Millennials also had a lower rate of homeownership (49.9 per cent) in 2021 than their Gen X (56.2 per cent) counterparts in 2006 and baby boomer (55.9 per cent) counterparts in 1991.<\/p>\n
