Depends where you live, kind of neighborhood. Is there some one you can call in an emergency, or some where you can go? I was home alone often even in middle school.But we lived in a quiet neighborhood and I had people I could call upon if I really needed to. I'd say 13 if you have an emergency plan.

@Confined It may depend on the child as well. Some can be left alone at the age of ten, wherras even some 13 year olds may need someone to check.
