Abstract: This research focuses on homeownership status with antecedent variables of sociodemographic characteristics mediated by poverty, using panel data in 34 provinces in Indonesia during 2017-2023. This research uses a Path Analysis model with dummy variables, grouping regions into 2 groups, namely urban areas and rural areas. The research results show that GDP per capita and education have a significant negative effect on poverty both in urban and rural areas. Furthermore, family members and population density have a significant negative effect on poverty in both areas. Meanwhile, labor has no effect on poverty in the two regions as well as on homeownership in the city, but has a positive effect in rural areas. It was also found that male heads of household had a significant negative effect on poverty in urban areas but had no effect in rural areas, then poverty had a significant negative effect on house ownership in urban areas but had no effect in rural areas. Apart from that, education has no effect on homeownership in both urban and rural areas. Furthermore, homeownership is significantly influenced by population density and male head of household in rural areas but not significantly in urban areas.Increasing the ability to own a home can be done by alleviating poverty by providing cheap credit facilities to families who need a place to live. Furthermore, the government should pay attention to sociodemographic characteristicsin increasing people’s ability to own a home and it is hoped that there will be a follow-up with gender research on homeownership.
