Croatian Youth Leave Parental Homes Later Than EU Peers

New Eurostat data shows that young Croatians are the latest in the European Union to move out of their parents’ homes, with an average age of 31.3 years in 2024, compared to the EU average of 26.2 years.

Countries with similarly late departures include Slovakia, Greece, Italy, and Spain, while Nordic countries like Finland, Denmark, and Sweden see young people leaving home much earlier.

The report links housing costs to the age of leaving home, highlighting that countries where young people move out earlier often face higher housing cost burdens.

In Croatia, the burden is relatively low, with only 2.1% of young people spending over 40% of their income on housing, compared to much higher rates in Greece and Denmark. The trend underscores the role of economic and cultural factors in shaping living arrangements across Europe.
