Atlanta saw an increase in Black homeownership during the COVID-19 pandemic, but racial disparities in housing persist.

Nationally, Black homeownership has increased over the last few years, but according to Zillow, it is down from a nearly 50% peak ownership rate reached in 2004.

Meanwhile, home prices have reportedly more than doubled.
