About

Percentage of owner-occupied housing units. The 2025 Annual Data Release used data from 2019-2023 for this measure.

Housing is central to opportunities for living long and well, and stable and affordable housing is an essential element to healthy communities. Homeownership is associated with better health, fewer illnesses, and lower rates of depression and anxiety.1 Owning one’s housing can, over time, help build savings for retirement or other opportunities important to health and future family wealth.2 High levels of homeownership are associated with more stable housing and tightly knit communities.1
