About this data

The Census Bureau’s American Community Survey 1-year estimates, table B25007: of households whose householder is 25 to 34, the share that own their home (with or without a mortgage). The 1-year survey covers only areas of 65,000 people or more, so Darke and Preble counties aren’t included, and the Census Bureau did not release standard 1-year estimates for 2020. The Dayton metro is the Dayton-Kettering-Beavercreek metropolitan area (Montgomery, Greene and Miami counties). Estimates have margins of error, larger for counties.
