Of all owner-occupied homes across the U.S., single women own 12.9% compared with 10.06% of homes owned by single men, and single women are more likely than men to be homeowners in 48 of 50 states.

Louisiana is home to the highest share of woman-owned properties, with a total of 15.16% owner-occupied households statewide. The homeownership gap between single women and single men is highest in Florida—a 4.55% discrepancy.
