Considering only 30% of the people in this survey from ages 18-34 are working full time, i'm going to go ahead and say this isn't an accurate representation of independent young adults.
26% are in school and 16% are unemployed for a total of 42% not really making money / are using loans for housing or are living at home.
28% are working part time and are unlikely to be living on their own - it's rare to find a part time gig that can afford housing.
So 22% think housing is the highest cost issue... and only 30% are employed full time... sounds about right to me! I'm guessing it's not 30% because those 8% got mortgages during the 4% or lower interest rate era.
What do you mean by independent young adult. Is that even possible to be any more? Without being born wealthy or making a huge gamble in health and safey or finances or both?
Sure, get a job working in a construction trade, IT, sales (if you are good) and you are easily making 90-110k a year not long after. Independence isn't difficult with 100k/year and not many obligations.
