NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

Explore homeownership rates across American counties, a metric that captures wealth accumulation, housing affordability, and community stability. This map reveals the stark divide between rural counties where owning is the overwhelming norm and dense urban cores where rental markets dominate - reflecting a fundamental tension in American housing between the cultural ideal of homeownership and the economic reality of increasingly unaffordable purchase prices in high-opportunity metros.
