Own vs Rent Trends

A higher share of owner-occupied homes often reflects stronger long-term ties to the community, since homeowners are more likely to stay in one place and invest in their neighborhoods. By contrast, areas with a larger renter population may be more transient, offering flexibility but sometimes less stability in housing markets.

It could also be an indication of market health, as affordable markets often have higher owner-occupancy rates.
