The database includes by US state the density of high net worth individuals, the house price index, the homeownership rate, the number of housing units, and the privately-owned housing units authorized by building permits.FindingsThe results show a limited cointegration between the concentration of US wealthy households and the housing market. Thus, the authors can partly predict the fluctuations transmission from the housing market to wealthy households.Originality/valueThe authors suggest that our findings could be of interest to wealthy households, real estate professionals, and public authorities.
