Findings suggest a decline in independent living arrangements and an increase in dependent living arrangements during the recession, particularly for young adults ages 25 to 29 years old.  However, consistent with prior research, there were few differential effects by socioeconomic status.   038 Townshend Hall Institute for Population Research popcenter@osu.edu America/New_York public
