| Video Discription | We charted America’s homeownership problem. This video is presented by Secret Deodorant.

Subscribe to our channel! http://goo.gl/0bsAjO Homeownership in the US is basically synonymous with the idea of the American Dream. Owning your own home, the story goes, confers both self-determination and security — instead of paying a landlord, you own a growing asset that will form the base of your wealth. Homeownership is ingrained in US society; the majority of American adults are homeowners. But somewhere along the line, something changed. Homeownership has been way less accessible to millennials and gen Z than it was to their parents, in part because of dwindling housing supply. But even within that generational disparity, 2023 was a uniquely bad year to try to become a new homeowner. Watch the video above to see exactly how bad, and why. Sources and further reading: The US Federal Reserve’s economic data was the basis for a lot of the charts in this video.

Zillow’s “affordability index” comes from this dashboard. In the time since we finished this video, the affordability index has gotten even higher: https://www.zillow.com/research/understanding-affordability-32538/ Vox.com is a news website that helps you cut through the noise and understand what's really driving the events in the headlines.
