Mapped: Texans are buying homes later in life

New Texas homeowners are getting older.

• The majority of Texas homeowners bought their first house by age 37, according to a recent University of California, Berkeley, study.

Why it matters: For young people especially, homeownership is increasingly out of reach, Axios' Brianna Crane reports.

By the numbers: In 1980, most Texans became homeowners by age 29, per the study.

• That age was 34 in 2000, per the study.

What's happening: Median U.S. home values have nearly doubled in the last decade, while household incomes have grown by only 13.5%.

Zoom out: Across the U.S., buyers are anywhere from two to 17 years older than in 1980.

The intrigue: Homeownership is still widely cited as a pillar of the American dream.

Go deeper: 38% of young buyers use family money for down payments.
