WASHINGTON D.C. -- Single women in the United States own 20 million homes, a figure that surpasses the number of homes owned by single men by nearly three million. Economics correspondent Paul Solman has explored the factors driving women's decisions to purchase homes and the subsequent challenges some homeowners encounter.
Analysts have observed this shift in homeownership patterns. The data indicates a significant portion of the housing market now rests with single female buyers.
