Owned Away from Home: Regrid Report on Ownership of U.S. Housing Stock

A new report from Regrid gives a unique, nationwide, look at the scale of U.S. homes owned outside their local areas. "Owned Away From Home," co-authored by Alex Alsup and Matthew Klovski, uses Regrid's 100% U.S. parcel data to uncover that a quarter of U.S. homes are owned either out-of-state or outside their local zip code.

The report is presented in an ArcGIS StoryMap and we invite you to directly engage with the full report here:

Key Insights from the Report:

• 5% of U.S. homes are owned out-of-state.
• 19.5% are owned in a different zip code within the same state.

By categorizing ownership into out-of-state and different zip code categories, the report offers insights into the distribution and implications of distant home ownership.

Sections of the report include:

• A nationwide overview of out-of-state and out-of-zip-code ownership.
• An analysis of the relationship between household income levels and ownership patterns.
• Questions for future research on ownership dynamics.

We welcome collaborations and inquiries from anyone interested in further exploring the themes of this report.
