Consider This from NPR - How Buying A Home Became A Key Way To Build Wealth In America

High mortgage rates and a low supply of homes for sale has made homeownership feel out of reach for many Americans. And yet it remains an important way for Americans to build wealth.

In participating regions, you'll also hear a local news segment to help you make sense of what's going on in your community.
