Study Shows Single Women Outpace Single Men in U.S. Homeownership

A recent analysis by LendingTree reveals that single women in the United States own significantly more homes than single men—despite earning less on average. The data shows that single women hold ownership of 2.72 million more homes than their male counterparts nationwide. This trend persists even though women make just 83.6% of what men earn on average, highlighting a growing gender gap in homeownership that favors women. The findings challenge traditional assumptions about income and property ownership, underscoring the financial independence and purchasing power of single women in today’s housing market.
