Range graph showing that the disparity in homeownership between households of color and white households persists regardless of demographic factors such as education and income. From 2013 to 2017, only 41 percent of Black households owned their own home, compared with more than 73 percent of white households.
*Note: The U.S. Census Bureau sorts households that live in metropolitan areas into either “central/principal city” or “balance of metropolitan area.” The Census Bureau prefers “balance of metro” over “suburban,” because residents outside of the central cities may not be as tightly integrated with the central cities as the term “suburban” implies.
