Home for One or Many?

Living alone is far more likely in some countries than others. Data from a ƽ Consumer ƽ survey shows that in Sweden, roughly one in three respondents aged 18-64 years old said that they were living on their own when the poll was taken between October 2024 and September 2025. As this chart shows, it was also fairly common in countries such as Germany (27 percent of respondents selected the answer), Japan (25 percent) and the United States (22 percent).

In China, where just nine percent of respondents said they lived alone, the most common answer was to live in a household of three, selected by 53 percent of respondents. In India, it is more common to live with bigger groups in a household, with the most popular answers being four people (34 percent) or five people and upwards (38 percent). Only four percent of respondents in India said they lived alone. This was the lowest figure of the 31 countries surveyed.
