According to First American, the share of single female-headed households with a bachelor's degree or higher has increased 13.6 percentage points since the year 2000. While many factors are attributed to the uptick, education seems to be a key driver. In the last few years, more and more women have decided to pursue homeownership on their own. 'Interestingly, single female-headed households are a major driver of the homeownership rebound since 2016.' 'In the aftermath of the Great Recession, the overall homeownership rate reached a low point of 63% in 2016, but has since rebounded to 65.5% in 2021,' Odeta Kushi, First American deputy chief economist, told Insider. The homeownership rate among single female-headed households surpassed 53%, climbing from a low of 50% in 2016.
