Homeownership Disparities

Homeownership disparities refer to the unequal rates of owning a home among different groups, often along racial, economic, or geographic lines. Factors like income gaps, historical discrimination, access to credit, and neighborhood differences contribute to these disparities. For example, some communities face barriers such as limited access to loans or wealth accumulation, making it harder to buy homes. Addressing these disparities involves understanding systemic issues and promoting policies that improve access to fair housing, financial education, and economic opportunities for underserved populations.
