Adulthood Milestones Shift Over Decades

In 1975, nearly half of 25-34 year olds in the U.S. had achieved four key adulthood milestones. By 2024, less than a quarter had.

The term "adulting" reflects a societal shift where traditional markers of adulthood are being reached later. Fewer young adults today achieve milestones like marriage and homeownership by their early thirties.
