Question: What was the average age of the 30% of 18-34 year olds that own a home?
The short answer to this is 28 years old.
The mode in our survey, however, is people ages 30 to 34 years old. More than half of young adults who own a home on Long Island are people in that age group, and if you look at the table below the trend seems to make sense – people are more likely to own homes as they grow older.
| Age | Number of respondents | Percent |
|---|---|---|
| 18 – 19 years old | 16 | 4 |
| 20 – 21 years old | 25 | 6 |
| 22 – 24 years old | 41 | 10 |
| 25 – 29 years old | 115 | 29 |
| 30 – 34 years old | 204 | 51 |
