Homeowners in the U.S. are, on average, 43 times wealthier than renters, according to a 2025 Federal Reserve survey. This disparity highlights a significant wealth gap. The survey found the median net worth for homeowners is $430,000, while renters have a median of $10,000. Homeowners' wealth grew by an estimated 45% since 2019, outpacing renters' financial gains. This wealth gap is exacerbated by rising home prices and interest rates, making homeownership less accessible. The next survey results, expected in 2026, will offer further insights.
