If your clients come to you for help with student loans, aren't most of these figures blatantly obvious or hopelessly misleading? Think of it this way:

Only 1% of people over the age of 53 needed our help with student loans and also live with their parents.

Almost 25% of people living with their parents in need of our help with student loans have only a high school degree...for now. The company is only 3 years old.

Also, why is the Earnest article titled "Math, Engineering Majors First to Leave the Nest"/"Humanities, Psych Majors More Likely to Live at Home"? Math and engineering majors seemed middle of the road, and in the chart there is no indication that they even factor in graduation. If I have a high school degree, and a student loan and am a client of Earnest I may or may not live at home, but I definitely have a major.

And why do they have data for 48-50 (less than 10 != 0) states if they only operate in 41 and DC?
