Ownership rate at a glance — all groups compared

Each point is a demographic group. The line shows how ownership % changes — the dip at Youth stands out clearly.

Land size profile — how do age groups compare?

Each axis is a land size category. The bigger the shaded area, the more people in that group fall in that size range.

Youth cluster in smaller plots: Youth have the lowest share of 1–5 acre plots (38.2%) and the highest share of below-1-acre plots (38.8%), indicating less access to mid-size land.

Key Takeaway

Most people in this community own land, which is a positive sign. However, young people are significantly less likely to own land — 1 in 5 youth (19.1%) owns no land at all, compared to just 1 in 13 elderly people (3.1%). Land ownership among youth deserves focused policy attention.
