Indiana ranks 4th in the nation for young home owners according to U.S. Census Bureau data.

One of the reasons, according to real estate experts, is Indiana’s housing programs.

One of them can give homebuyers up to 6% of the purchase price of their home used as a down payment at closing.

Data finds that 3.87% of Indiana homeowners are considered “young”.

North Dakota had the highest percentage in the nation with 4.9% of it’s population being young homeowners.
