    renter's market

    Dallas and Houston lead nation among families who rent instead of own

    While Dallas is one of the most affordable cities in the country when it comes to cost of living and quality of life, there’s one place where life in the city might be coming up a bit short, according to one study: the soaring prices and shortage of entry-level, single-family homes.

    Dallas-Fort Worth ranks second nationally when it comes to the net change in renters with children. In the 10 years between 2006 and 2016, an increase of 101,000 households were renting instead of owning. Houston comes in first; 107,000 more families were renting rather than owning during the same time period.

    Nationally, in the decade between 2006 and 2016, the drop in the number of families with children who own their home has reached almost 3.6 million, while the same demographic living in rentals has increased by 1.9 million.

    Texas isn’t alone in the trend. This study, released by real estate blog Rent Café, shows that families with children who are renting apartments is on the rise in the 30 largest U.S. metros, while ownership is declining.

    The issue is simple supply and demand — and there isn’t enough supply on the single-family home side to satisfy the demand. Increasing prices in single family homes have put them out of reach for many, especially those looking for a first — or entry-level — home.

    In Dallas, single-family home prices increased by 45 percent in the last five years, while rents have risen by 31 percent. In Houston, these changes are 30 percent vs. 25 percent, respectively. That means potential home owners find themselves apartment hunting instead.

    Since 2006, 1.1 million new apartments were built nationally. In Dallas, 42 percent of new apartments built over the last dozen years were classified as family-sized (two or more bedrooms); in Houston, that percentage is 45 percent.

    A number of factors have contributed to families having to reassess or put the American dream on hold. In addition to the numbers game of available housing stock at prices buyers can afford, there are also tighter lending rules, putting the kibosh on some families’ plans. Additionally, some of those renters may have been families who lost their homes in the wake of the recession and they’ve not been able to climb back on the property owning ladder.

    Meanwhile, single-family home prices have shot up 75 percent faster than rental rates over the last five years.

    Rent report

    Dallas boasts 2nd highest spike in millionaire-renters nationwide

    More millionaire renters means more luxury apartments.

    Sure, plenty of Dallas millionaires own swanky homes in the Park Cities. But in recent years, Dallas has seen a huge spike in the number of millionaires opting to rent rather than own a place to live.

    A new report from apartment search website RentCafe ranks the Dallas metro area as the second fastest-growing U.S. market for millionaire renters from 2019 to 2023.

    The number of millionaire renter households in Dallas-Fort Worth soared more than 1,200 percent — from just 14 in 2019 to 185 in 2023, according to the report.

    Looking at DFW's millionaire-renter data another way, the region ranked 14th for the sheer number of households (185) occupied by millionaire renters in 2023, the report says.

    “Many of today’s high-income renters live in metro areas … where the abundance of apartments as well as sky-high costs of homeownership make renting the more practical and cost-effective option,” RentCafe explains.

    The report largely attributes a nationwide 203-percent bump in millionaire-renter households to a 60-percent spike in the number of millionaire renters among millennials from 2019 to 2023.

    Still, in DFW, the number of millionaire homeowners far outweighs the number of millionaire renters. The report tallied 3,133 local millionaire-owner households in 2023, earning it 11th place on the list of hotspots for millionaire owners.

    RentCafe based its report on data from the Integrated Public Use Microdata Series (IPUMS) website.

    Elsewhere in Texas
    Dallas was bested only by Houston, which ranked No. 1 nationwide for the biggest spike in millionaire renters.

    The number of Houston millionaire renters swelled from just seven in 2019 to 179 in 2023, according to the report. Houston’s growth rate for that time period — nearly 2,500 percent — put it at the top of the rankings. Houston ranked 15th for the number of millionaire-renter households (179) in 2023.

    However, Houston landed behind Dallas (No. 12) in the ranking of the number of hotspots for millionaire homeowners (3,050).

    The Austin metro area landed at No. 19 for growth in the number of millionaire renters. That figure climbed from 90 in 2019 to 207 in 2023, or 130 percent, the report shows. Austin ranked 12th for the number of millionaire-renter households in 2023.
