This indicator shows the percentage of all housing units (i.e. occupied and unoccupied) that are occupied by homeowners.
Numerator = Total estimate of owner-occupied housing units
Denominator = Total estimate of housing units
Why is this important?
Homeownership has many benefits for both individuals and communities. Homeowners are more likely to improve their homes and to be involved in civic affairs, both of which benefit the individual and the community as a whole. In addition, homeownership provides tax benefits.
