June is Homeownership Month — a time to reflect on where we are today, how we got here, and why homeownership still matters. From 1890 to 1940, fewer than half of American households owned a home. That changed after WWII with the GI Bill, the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage, and suburban expansion. By 2004, the homeownership rate had climbed to nearly 70%, shaped by policy and economic forces that made owning a home both possible and aspirational. Today, the U.S. homeownership rate is about 65% — stable overall, but with major generational and demographic shifts under the surface. • Millennials have crossed a key threshold: over 50% are now homeowners. But they still lag previous generations at the same age. Consider that the homeownership rate for the 30-year millennial is 6 percentage points behind the Gen Xers at the same age. Why? Millennials have delayed marriage and family formation — key drivers of homeownership — and invested more heavily in education, which takes time and money. These life milestones, once reached in the 20s, are now happening in the early to mid-30s. Still, the trend is moving forward. Among 42-year-olds, millennial and Gen X homeownership rates are roughly the same. And with millennials now the largest generation, the population of 30–39-year-olds is expected to grow through 2040. Higher educational attainment is also translating into higher incomes — a strong determinant of homeownership. The transition to homeownership may be delayed, but not forgone. • Gen Z is beginning to enter the market. Gen Z was outperforming their generational predecessors at a younger age, though that lead goes away when you examine the older mid-20s Gen Z. A lot of it had to due with how low interest rates were and the pandemic-driven untethering from the downtown office that up more possibilities for Gen Zers to purchase homes in places that are more affordable. Today, most Gen Zers are forming renter households — but the aspiration to own remains strong. • Baby Boomers are aging in place longer, keeping homes off the market. But the number of Americans aged 80+ is expected to nearly double by 2040. As more boomers begin to downsize in the 2030s, we may see more housing supply come online. Despite the headwinds, homeownership remains the primary way Americans build wealth. The median homeowner has 38 times the wealth of the median renter. Homeowners are wealthier than renters at every income level. For families in the bottom 20 percent of incomes, median net worth was nearly $147,000 for homeowners, and only $3,400 for renters. More importantly, housing is the single largest component of net worth for most households. The lower the income of a homeowning household, the greater the share of its wealth that comes from homeownership. This pattern has remained consistent over the last three decades. That’s why homeownership still matters. Not just as shelter, but as security. And not just as a dream, but as a driver of generational wealth.
