Market snapshot

FragmentationFragmentedEstimate

Single-family rental sits within residential lessors (NAICS 531110, shared with multifamily); owner-occupied single-family is household wealth, and for-sale construction is profiled under Construction & Engineering, so the segment is not separately sized here.
