Why it matters:
- The Hispanic homeownership rate has risen to 48.6%, marking 8 years of steady homeownership growth, according to the NAHREP 2022 State of Hispanic Homeownership Report
- The Hispanic population has become increasingly mortgage-ready. Nearly 8 million Latinos aged 45 or younger currently have the credit characteristics to qualify for a mortgage and another 2.8 million are near mortgage-ready, according to the NAHREP report
- Latinos are expected to account for 70% of homeownership growth over the next 20 years, the only racial or ethnic group forecast to see an increase in homeownership, according to the NAHREP report
