      This shows the share of Americans who are **both married and homeowners** by exact age 30.

      The chart itself is not particularly beautiful, and I find it fairly obnoxious that the article attached to it insists on only discussing the joint married and homeowner rate instead of also at least touching upon the data for the two aspects separately, despite the underlying dataset clearly including that data. It would be interesting and relevant to see the relative impact of the two.

      As a 28 year old I find it so fascinating that in 1960 the majority of Americans were married and owned a home by age 30. I am so far away from that milestone and same with all of my friends that I can’t fathom how that not being married and not owning a home at my age was what was actually abnormal.

      It’s declined every year since 1960, but the really steep decline begins after 1990. Generation X really kickstarted the delayed adulthood trend. The original slacker generation, of course.

      It would be even more interesting and probably more stark to see single income home ownership. I suspect the 2010 fall off to be much steeper under those constraints.

      This is exactly what I expected to see, as a 58 y/o. There’s been a very strong sense of „I’m not looking for that at all yet“ from younger people from my teenage years until today – and it looks like it started even earlier. I used to joke that we all married whoever we were dating at 27. Now it’s more like 31. And the house often comes well before the wedding.

      Now show us only the decline in people who are married. Tying the two together is very misleading. Home ownership by 30 (also arbitrary) isn’t down much at all since 1960.
