Sugar Land is one of the most ‘house rich’ cities in the country

by Emily Marek

Homeowners in Sugar Land are among the most “house rich” in the United States, according to a new report from All Star Home.

Using data from the U.S. Census Bureau, the homeownership website analyzed the median value of owner-occupied housing units and compared that to median household income to determine the most house rich areas in the country based on each city’s home-value-to-income ratio. Nationwide, the home-value-to-income ratio is 3.33; the lower the score, the more affordable an area is relative to income.

Sugar Land ranked No. 3 overall, with a home-value-to-income ratio of 2.78 and an owner-occupied housing unit rate of 80.9% — meaning just over 80% of housing units are occupied by the people who own them — the city ranked as one of the most house rich in the country.

Nearby League City also made it into the top 10 at No. 7 — while a slightly smaller proportion of residents own the units they live in at 74.4%, income is more closely matched to home values at a 2.44 home-value-to-income ratio.
