Renter-majority suburbs in 50 largest metros

by Andrea Zander

Renters are now the majority in 103 U.S. suburbs that were previously homeowner territory 10 years ago, and 57 other suburbs are expected to follow suit in the next five years, according to RentCafe.

Due to these changes in numbers since 2010, renters claimed the majority share in 103 suburbs, while only four suburbs transitioned to owner-majority in the same timeframe.
