During the Great Recession, the Black unemployment rate rose to roughly <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/fred.stlouisfed.org\/series\/LNS14000006\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">16%<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, compared to 9% for white Americans, setting Black millennials, who were early in their careers, further back. Another factor contributing to the outsized gap for millennials: Tight lending standards in the wake of the Great Recession, just as millennials were entering homebuying age, disproportionately <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/tighter-underwriting-rules-cut-portion-of-mortgages-to-blacks-report-says-1471266000\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">held back<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Black buyers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cMillennials have consistently tracked <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/homeownership-rate-by-generation-2023\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">behind<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> their parents&#8217; generation when it comes to homeownership because they\u2019ve faced significant financial obstacles and an historic inventory shortage,\u201d said Redfin Chief Economist Daryl Fairweather. \u201cBut that number doesn\u2019t tell the whole story: Black millennials have borne the brunt of those challenges because they\u2019re at an unfair financial disadvantage due to the country\u2019s history of racial discrimination. Young Black Americans started out behind largely because they\u2019re less likely to have property and money passed down from their parents or grandparents, who faced racial discrimination themselves, and they have stayed behind because they\u2019re still facing discrimination and unfair economic circumstances.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Racial homeownership gap may shrink for millennials in the near future<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The homeownership rate for Black millennials and Gen Xers has grown fairly quickly for the last several years. But the racial homeownership gap persists because it has grown at a similar pace for white millennials and Gen Xers. The homeownership rate for young and middle-aged adults has grown over the last several years because that group is in <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/2023\/11\/20\/american-housing-market-older-homeowners-2023\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">prime<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> homebuying age, and mortgage rates dropped to record lows in 2020 and 2021. Even when mortgage rates jumped\u00a0 in 2022 and 2023, both Black and white millennials and Gen Xers gained ground.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cAlthough young Black Americans face outsized barriers to homeownership, I expect the racial homeownership gap to start narrowing for millennials and Gen Zers in the near future,\u201d Fairweather said. \u201cThe Black <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/fred.stlouisfed.org\/series\/LNS14000006\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">unemployment rate<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is at an all-time low and the racial wage gap is <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2023\/06\/19\/briefing\/juneteenth-racial-wage-gap.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">shrinking<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which should help more young Black Americans get their feet in the homeownership door.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although it\u2019s still <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/share-of-homes-affordable-new-2023\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">difficult<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for most Americans to afford a home, Redfin economists expect it to become slightly easier to buy a home as the year goes on, with mortgage rates declining by the end of 2024 and more homes hitting the market.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Methodology<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Data on homeownership rates by race (Black versus non-Hispanic white) and generation was calculated from the Current Population Survey\u2019s Annual Social and Economic Supplement (March Supplement), from 1976 to 2023, conducted by the U.S. Bureau of Census for the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
