In Iowa, a 16-year-old cannot legally live alone unless they have been emancipated by the court. Emancipation grants the minor the legal rights and responsibilities of an adult, allowing them to live independently. Otherwise, a minor under the age of 18 is usually required to live with a parent, legal guardian, or in a supervised situation.
