Well you can pretty much stay home as soon as you are born.

If you mean what age can you stay home alone, there are only two states that have passed any legislation about it.

The general rule is that the child must be safe, must feel safe and must know what to do if there is an emergency. Most authorities agree that a 12 year old can be left home alone safely for a few hours during the day.
