Overview

Homeownership across Middle Tennessee appears to rise alongside income, with wealthier areas showing consistently higher rates of ownership than their lower-income counterparts.

The distribution of homeownership rates suggests that most districts fall within a moderate to high range, with relatively few areas experiencing very low ownership levels. When comparing counties, Williamson County stands out with generally higher homeownership rates, while Davidson County shows more variability and includes some of the lowest values. Rutherford County tends to sit between the two, reflecting a more balanced but still varied housing landscape. The scatterplot further reinforces a clear positive relationship between median household income and homeownership, indicating that income is a key driver of ownership patterns. Although the trend is strong, some variation remains, suggesting that other local factors such as housing availability or urban density may also influence outcomes.
