Question: Home ownership and marital status – do single people leave?

This is our interpretation of this question we received:

Did you ask married versus single? I would not have been able to move out of my parents house without a spouse to split the bills. Do single people leave?

We did ask people about their marital status, and we’re sharing the data/chart below.

It’s interesting that home ownership rates of people that are single (20 percent) is higher than those that are widowed, divorced or in a domestic partnership.

And the percentage of single people that are renting is also lower than all other groups, except for those that are married.
