These States Lead in Young Adult Homeownership

Young, first-time homebuyers face fewer barriers to ownership in these states.

Texas, California, and Florida are the top three states in the country with the highest number of young adult homeowners, according to a Chandan Economics analysis of data from the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey. These states have the most households headed by someone under 35, the most homeowners under 35, and generally the most renters of the same age group.

Chandan said that states with the largest populations of young adult households naturally tend to have more young adult homeowners. The analysis said that observing where early age homeowners make up a higher or lower share of all households provides a more valuable understanding of how this group impacts the purchase and rental markets.
