Why Home Ownership is Good for You

Studies show that owning a home not only instills a sense of comfort and pride, but it also brings higher academic achievement, more cohesive communities, better connected families, improved health and safety, and a stronger economy.  Home owners:

• are 15% more likely to vote
• live 4 times longer in a community
• are 16% more likely to belong to parent-teacher organizations, book clubs, etc.
• are 1.3 times more likely to read the newspaper
• are 10% more likely to attend church
• have a net worth 45.9 times that of a renter's
