A recent study by Zillow shows the most popular neighborhoods for gay couples in the United States.
Using numbers from the 2012 U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey, the online real estate data company ranked the top 10 communities with the “highest share” of this demographic.
Corona Heights, a section of San Francisco’s Castro District, tops the ranking: 44.5 percent of households there are comprised of same-sex couples. Neighborhoods in Columbus, Dayton, Ft. Lauderdale, Cleveland, Washington, D.C., and Baltimore are also on the list.
Beyond population, the Zillow study showed that overall, property values are higher in neighborhoods with a dense population of same-sex couples. For example, the median home value in Corona Heights is $1.4 million, whereas homes in the S.F. metro area are valued at $738, 200.
“Over the past forty years, home prices in historically gay neighborhoods have steadily outperformed average prices for the metros in which they’re located,” write Spencer Rascoff, the CEO of Zillow, and economist Stan Humphries in their book Zillow Talk: The New Rules of Real Estate.
“Many gay communities across the country are no longer marginalized and undervalued. … They’re coveted,” they add.
