Chart 2  No matter what their age at departure, the predicted probability of being a homeowner is highest for married persons with children

This graph shows three curves: one for married individuals with children, one for married individuals without children, and one for individuals living alone. The curves illustrate the relationship between age at departure from the parental home and the predicted probability of owning one's own home. No matter what the age at departure, the predicted probability of being a homeowner is higher for married people with children than for married people without children. People living alone are the least likely to own their own home, regardless of their age when they left. The curves illustrate the fact that the predicted probability increases with age of departure, but only up until age 25. After that age, the predicted probability of owning one's own home diminishes.
