Housing & Dwellings in Riverside
Where and how people live — the homes, how they are held, and what they cost.
More than half of all homes in Riverside are now owned outright, a figure that rose 14 points since 2011. This shift toward full ownership is reflected in the very low number of renters. The area consists entirely of detached houses, which helps explain why the typical home is so large.
