This pride month, we wanted to bring attention to a housing disparity that often goes unnoticed: LGBTQ+ people. These graphs are using data from the UCLA's 2020 study into homeownership among LGBTQ+ people. This study also found that these numbers are missing important context: even among LGBTQ+ people, transgender people and racial minorities had even lower homeownership rates than these pictured. Furthermore, homeless and unhoused statistics show that LGBTQ+ people are at risk of housing instability at higher rates.
The full study is worth a look if you have the time, or even just taking a look at the executive summary. Since links usually get posts flagged as spam, I will include the citation that you can use to find the full study on Google Scholar:
