Homeowners have their ages in common.

In the largest metropolitan statistical areas , the average age of a homeowner is 54, according to a survey from Lending Tree that relied on Census Bureau Data to complete the rankings.

"It's no secret that young and old people gravitate toward different parts of the country," said Tendayi Kapfidze, chief economist at LendingTree. "Florida is a well-known haven for retirees, while places such as San Francisco and Austin, Texas, have emerged as millennial boomtowns over the past few years. As a result, the average age of a homeowner varies by location."

Homeowners in Florida are older than homeowners in most other states. Seven out of the top-10 metropolitan areas with the highest average homeowner age were in Florida. Homeowners in cities in Utah are among the youngest in the country.

Out of the top-10 metropolitan areas with the lowest average age for homeowners, metropolitan areas in Utah—Provo, Ogden and Salt Lake City—held the top three spots.
