New York has the lowest homeownership rate in the country, with just over half the state’s residents reporting owning a home in 2024, according to data from the Federal Reserve. Most of the lawmakers who represent New York in Congress, however, own their homes.
At least 24 of New York’s 28-member congressional delegation own or have owned a home, based on NOTUS’ review of the lawmakers’ most recent personal financial disclosure forms.
More than one-quarter of the delegation’s members have also used real estate to build their wealth.
