Single Women Own More Homes Than Single Men
NYT ^ | 2/2/23 | Michael Kolomatsky

Posted on 02/03/2023 9:52:14 AM PST by Round Earther

Single women own and occupy more homes than single men in the United States, despite earning only about 83 cents for every dollar that men earn, according to a new study.

The report, by the online lending marketplace LendingTree, analyzed data from the U.S. Census Bureau 2021 American Community Survey with one-year estimates. It found that 10.76 million U.S. homes were owned and occupied by single women, while 8.12 million were owned and occupied by single men. Single men were found to own and occupy a larger percentage of homes in only two states: North Dakota (about 13 percent, to 11 percent for single women) and South Dakota (12 percent to 11 percent).

“Be interesting to see those stats broken down by divorced and never married.”

They need to break down education too.

In my area of the country (South), a trend exists where women of my generation frequently pursue higher education while men do not because of unavailability of scholarships or financial aid. It’s crucial to evaluate this disparity by education level. As a result, men frequently take on manual labor jobs while women secure well-paying office positions.

There are probably lots of reasons for that. One is that men expect to have to move to get a better paying job. Women that I’ve known will stay at a lesser job rather than move. I think women are more risk averse.

“earning only about 83 cents for every dollar that men earn,”

This is BS misleading deceit.

Correct!

True statement: For ever dollar an Alaskan earns, a Russian earns forty dollars (because there are so many more Russians than Alaskans).

Don’t single mothers have access to government loans as long as the kids live with them?

But single women don’t own near as many pickup trucks and guns.

How many got their houses from their now-divorced husband? After all, this is the NYT, a failed rag that is incapable of printing a complete sentence without bias.

They also have their parents helping them pay for those homes.

Fortune 500 Companies and others have good paying jobs with career paths for minorities and white women. Your average white male with a degree need not apply. Of course there are exceptions but not many. Been there done that.

Happily Retired.
