New York’s overall homeownership rate has trailed the nation since 2005, with the gap between the state and the nation as high as 14%. Reducing inequities in real estate practices and boosting homeownership are important priorities for maintaining New York’s competitiveness as a place where everyone has an equal opportunity.” Housing and mortgage discrimination have prevented generations of New Yorkers from taking advantage of the economic benefits of homeownership. “The low rate of ownership for Black, Asian, and Hispanic New Yorkers is especially troubling. “Owning a home is the ‘American Dream,’ but for too many New Yorkers that dream has been unattainable,” DiNapoli said. The homeownership gap is highest for Hispanics in New York, and 16% higher than the national Hispanic gap compared to White households. In 2021, 67% of White households in New York owned their home, compared to 52% of Asian households, 34% of Black households, and 29% of Hispanic households. New York also has a racial and ethnic ownership disparity that is higher than the rest of the country. Only 53.6% of New York households owned a home in the second quarter of 2022, compared to 65.8% nationally.
