Abstract:
LGBTQ+ adults had a lower homeownership rate (53%) than non-LGBTQ+ adults (72.5%). Looking at LGBTQ+ subgroups by sexual orientation and gender identity revealed important nuances. Trans people and bisexual people had the lowest homeownership rates. Lesbian cis women had a higher rate of homeownership than gay cis men, whereas in other sexual orientation groups cis men had higher rates than cis women. Transgender people of all sexual orientations, except straight, were between six and 12 percentage points less likely to own a home than straight cis men, and lesbian cis women were four percentage points less likely.
The analysis and conclusions set forth are those of the authors and do not indicate concurrence by other members of the research staff or the Board of Governors.
