In recent years, the rate of young people leaving home for various purposes has been declining. A large-scale online shift caused by COVID-19 might have developed this trend further. Nevertheless, even among young people, the actual online shift varies according to occupation, values, and other factors. It will be necessary to develop residential environments that incorporate consideration of diversity. Therefore, this study, based on responses to an original questionnaire survey, classifies young people according to their patterns of online shifts in work and private life. Subsequently, it analyzes relations between online shifts and values or residential environment evaluations. Results indicate that online shift patterns are divisible according to household composition. Large disparities were found, even among young people, in activity locations and residential environment evaluations.
