Aurora, CO

Aurora is Colorado’s third-largest city, located east of Denver, where the number of homes occupied by single owners is the highest on our list.

Why do people living alone choose to buy instead of renting? Well, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, the supply of homes is greater than the demand, which might be why the real estate prices are rather affordable.

As per 2019 data, around 60 percent of single residents of Aurora own their homes, 10.58 percent more than the rate of single homeowners in 2015. According to the same data, Aurora has the second-highest 2019 single homeownership percentage of all cities in the study.
