More single women own homes in the United States than men.
According to a Pew Research Center survey based on census data, single women owned 58 percent of the nearly 35.2 million homes owned by unmarried Americans, whereas single men owned 42 percent.
According to Pew, "The homeownership edge that single women have held over single men is due more to their numbers than their economic power."
But the numbers are changing because single women no longer exponentially outnumber single men among older household heads.
"In 2000, by comparison, single women owned 64% of the almost 25 million homes owned by unmarried Americans. Single men owned 36%."
