Housing & Dwellings in Cornwall
Where and how people live — the homes, how they are held, and what they cost.
Just 100% of the homes in Cornwall are separate houses, making it a rare example of a community where every dwelling is a detached property. This makes the area stand out from both the state and national patterns. It is an affordable place where half of the households own their home outright.
