Redfin's latest survey reveals a significant disparity in neighborhood belonging between renters and homeowners. Only 46.7% of renters feel they belong in their neighborhood, compared to 63.6% of homeowners. The survey also found that 38.9% of renters feel they have things in common with neighbors, versus 58.5% of homeowners.

Millennial/Gen Z homeowners reported the strongest sense of belonging (67.6%) and commonality with neighbors (63.7%). Interestingly, 41.6% of renters actively avoid neighbor interactions, compared to 33.1% of homeowners. The study suggests this difference stems from renters' typically shorter residence periods and less permanent investment in their communities.

Ultimo sondaggio di Redfin rivela una notevole disparità nel senso di appartenenza al quartiere tra affittuari e proprietari di casa. Solo 46,7% degli affittuari si sentono appartenere al loro quartiere, rispetto al 63,6% dei proprietari di casa. Il sondaggio ha anche rilevato che 38,9% degli affittuari sente di avere cose in comune con i vicini, contro il 58,5% dei proprietari di casa.

I proprietari della Gen Z/Millennials riportano il massimo senso di appartenenza (67,6%) e di comunanza con i vicini (63,7%). È interessante notare che 41,6% degli affittuari evita attivamente le interazioni con i vicini, rispetto al 33,1% dei proprietari di casa. Lo studio suggerisce che questa differenza derivi dai periodi di residenza generalmente più brevi degli affittuari e dal minore investimento permanente nelle loro comunità.

La última encuesta de Redfin revela una disparidad significativa en el sentido de pertenencia al vecindario entre inquilinos y propietarios. Solo 46,7% de los inquilinos siente que pertenece a su vecindario, en comparación con el 63,6% de los propietarios. La encuesta también encontró que 38,9% de los inquilinos siente que tiene cosas en común con sus vecinos, frente a 58,5% de los propietarios.

Los propietarios de la Generación Z/Millennials informaron tener el mayor sentido de pertenencia (67,6%) y de comunalidad con los vecinos (63,7%). Curiosamente, 41,6% de los inquilinos evitan activamente las interacciones con los vecinos, en comparación con el 33,1% de los propietarios. El estudio sugiere que esta diferencia proviene de los períodos de residencia generalmente más cortos de los inquilinos y de una inversión menos permanente en sus comunidades.

레드핀의 최신 조사에 따르면 세입자와 주택 소유자 사이에 이웃에 대한 소속感의 차이가 상당히 크게 나타납니다. 세입자 중 46.7%만이 자신이 이웃에 속해 있다고 느끼는 반면, 주택 소유자 가운데는 63.6%가 자신이 속해 있다고 응답했습니다. 조사 결과, 이웃과 공통점이 있다고 느끼는 세입자는 38.9%인 반면, 주택 소유자는 58.5%에 달했습니다.

밀레니얼/젠지 주택 소유자는 가장 강한 소속감(67.6%)과 이웃과의 공통점을 보고했습니다(63.7%). 흥미롭게도, 41.6%의 세입자가 이웃과의 상호작용을 적극적으로 피하고 있으며, 이는 주택 소유자의 33.1%에 비해 상당히 높은 수치입니다. 이 연구는 이러한 차이가 세입자의 일반적으로 더 짧은 거주 기간과 그들의 커뮤니티에 대한 덜 영구적인 투자의 결과일 수 있다고 제안합니다.

La dernière enquête de Redfin révèle une disparité importante dans le sentiment d'appartenance au quartier entre locataires et propriétaires. Seulement 46,7% des locataires se sentent appartenir à leur quartier, contre 63,6% des propriétaires. L'enquête a également révélé que 38,9% des locataires estiment avoir des points communs avec leurs voisins, contre 58,5% des propriétaires.

Les propriétaires millénium/Gen Z ont déclaré avoir le plus fort sentiment d'appartenance (67,6%) et de points communs avec leurs voisins (63,7%). Il est intéressant de noter que 41,6% des locataires évitent activement les interactions avec leurs voisins, contre 33,1% des propriétaires. L'étude suggère que cette différence découle des périodes de résidence généralement plus courtes des locataires et d'un investissement moins permanent dans leurs communautés.

Die neueste Umfrage von Redfin zeigt eine erhebliche Diskrepanz im Gefühl der Nachbarschaftszugehörigkeit zwischen Mietern und Hauseigentümern. Nur 46,7% der Mieter fühlen sich in ihrer Nachbarschaft zugehörig, während 63,6% der Hauseigentümer dies tun. Die Umfrage ergab außerdem, dass 38,9% der Mieter das Gefühl haben, Gemeinsamkeiten mit Nachbarn zu haben, im Vergleich zu 58,5% der Hauseigentümer.

Millennial/Gen Z Hauseigentümer berichten von dem stärksten Zugehörigkeitsgefühl (67,6%) und der Gemeinsamkeit mit Nachbarn (63,7%). Interessanterweise vermeiden 41,6% der Mieter aktiv Interaktionen mit Nachbarn, im Vergleich zu 33,1% der Hauseigentümer. Die Studie legt nahe, dass dieser Unterschied auf die typischerweise kürzeren Aufenthaltszeiten der Mieter und auf geringere dauerhafte Investitionen in ihre Gemeinschaften zurückzuführen ist.

47% of renters feel a sense of belonging in their neighborhood, compared with 64% of homeowners, according to a new Redfin survey

SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- (NASDAQ: RDFN) — Less than half (46.7%) of U.S. renters feel a sense of belonging in their neighborhood, compared with almost two-thirds (63.6%) of homeowners, according to a new survey from Redfin (redfin.com), the technology-powered real estate brokerage.

Just 38.9% of renters feel they have things in common with their neighbors, compared with 58.5% of homeowners. And renters are more likely to avoid neighbors; 41.6% try to avoid interacting with their neighbors, versus 33.1% of homeowners.

“When someone buys a home, they’re making an investment in a property and a neighborhood, which means they’ll probably see their neighbors for years to come. Many homeowners seek out positive relationships with their neighbors as a result,” said Redfin Chief Economist Daryl Fairweather. “Renters, on the other hand, tend to stay in their homes for a shorter amount of time, which means they’re often less inclined to get to know the neighbors.”

Homeowners are often putting down roots, thinking about things like where they want their kids to grow up. Renters tend to be more transient, meaning they may put less energy into finding somewhere they “belong” because they won’t be there for long. Less than half (47.6%) of respondents who have lived in their current home for under a year feel a sense of belonging in their neighborhood, compared with 58.1% of respondents who have lived in their home for 6-10 years (these figures include both homeowners and renters).

It’s worth noting that many respondents indicated that they do not feel a sense of belonging in their neighborhood: 21.2% of renters and 12.5% of homeowners. That could be a reflection of increasing political, economic and social division across the country.

Young Homeowners Are Most Likely to Say They Feel a Sense of Belonging In Their Neighborhood

Over two-thirds (67.6%) of millennial/Gen Z homeowners feel a sense of belonging in their neighborhood, making them the group most likely to feel they belong. Millennial/Gen Z renters were least likely to feel a sense of belonging, at 44.4%.

Millennial/Gen Z homeowners were also the group most likely to say they have things in common with their neighbors, with nearly two-thirds (63.7%) reporting they feel this way. Gen X renters were the group least likely to say they have things in common with their neighbors, at 36%.

“Young homeowners probably feel more connected to their communities because they recently chose to live there, whereas older homeowners may be unhappy with how the neighborhood has changed since they first bought decades ago,” Fairweather said.

Millennial/Gen Z renters were most likely to say they try to avoid interacting with their neighbors (45.7%), while baby boomer homeowners were least likely (24.8%).

This is according to a Redfin-commissioned survey conducted by Ipsos in September 2024. The survey was fielded to 894 U.S. renters and 805 U.S. homeowners aged 18-65.
