Data notes & caveats
The ranking uses absolute counts rather than rates. Values count occupied housing units in which the owner lives. ACS estimates are subject to sampling error; margins of error are not included here.
Methodology
The ranking uses the 2024 ACS 1-year estimate for owner-occupied housing-unit count across U.S. states and DC. Values are ordered from highest to lowest, with equal values retaining tied ranks. National totals and other summary geographies are excluded. Compact labels are rounded for readability without changing the source order.
Source consistency notes
All entries use the same Census source family, ACS 1-year product, 2024 period and measurement unit (housing units), supporting a like-for-like ranking across the stated geographies.
