Those two maps do not look alike at all. Just glancing across the Nordic countries, Norway, Sweden and Finland have essentially the same housing % but range across the middle three of five birth rate categories. Denmark has super low living with parents rates but only second tier TFR.
Italy's kids with parents % is the same as Romania, but their TFRs are at opposite ends of the spectrum. Spain and Chechia are a similar case. Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, all buck the trend. Large swaths of central Europe have roughly the same TFR but wildly different % of kids living with parents.
I expect that if you actually plotted out the numbers here you would find there is essentially no correlation, or at least a very weak one. Hanania is prone to seeing what he wants to see in numbers.
