Understanding Homeownership Data
Our homeownership data is derived from property records and residential classifications across 268 million individual records. Homeownership status indicates whether an individual owns the property they reside in or rents. Rates can vary significantly based on cost of living, local housing markets, and demographic composition.
States with lower costs of living and more suburban/rural areas tend to have higher homeownership rates, while densely urban states with high housing costs show lower rates.
