Households That Reported Being English or German Topped List of Owner-Occupied U.S. Households

The largest number of U.S. householders who own the homes they live in identified as English, according to 2020 Census detailed race and ethnicity data released today.

The Detailed Demographic and Housing Characteristics File B shows whether a home is owned or rented and if family or nonfamily members live in it.

Data are available for approximately 1,500 detailed race and ethnicity groups and detailed American Indian and Alaska Native (AIAN) tribes and villages.

The race and ethnicity data for households reflect the response of the householder. For the 2020 Census, the householder is the first adult listed in the household’s census response.

In 2020, many states mirrored the national patterns: English alone or in any combination was the largest group of owner-occupied households in 25 states and German alone or in any combination was the largest in 18 states.

When a householder lives in a home they own, it is considered owner-occupied, whether mortgaged or not.

In this article, we present “race alone” and “race alone or in any combination” data created from the detailed responses to the 2020 Census race question.

The “race alone” population includes households where the householder reported only one race response, such as Irish. The “race alone or in any combination” population includes households where the householder gave one response like Irish, and households where the householder reported multiple responses like Irish and Italian or Irish and Samoan.

Only a single response was tabulated in response to the Hispanic origin question, following the Office of Management and Budget’s 1997 Revisions to the Standards for the Classification of Federal Data on Race and Ethnicity. (The updated standards will be implemented in future data collections.) Counts for detailed Hispanic origins groups, such as “Mexican,” reflect the householder’s response.
