Scars from the Great Recession have mostly healed, but household wealth and lending inequities are holding back Latinx home buyers

- Close to half of Latinx households in the U.S. own their home, the highest share since the Great Recession of 2008.

- Latinx homeownership gains have outpaced that of other groups since mid-decade lows brought on by the Great Recession.

- Wealth disparity and higher rates of mortgage denials continue to be barriers for Latinx home buyers.
