Inequity in home ownership

Inequity in home ownership refers to the unequal access and opportunities people have to buy or own homes, often based on factors like race, income, or geographic location. Historical discrimination, economic disparities, and systemic barriers have made it harder for some groups—particularly minorities and low-income individuals—to build wealth through property. As a result, homeownership rates and wealth accumulation vary significantly across different communities, maintaining or widening social and economic gaps. Addressing inequity involves understanding these barriers and working towards fairer access to homeownership for all.
