""We often hear that today's renters are choosing to rent because they don't want to be homeowners or are choosing to be 'forever renters', but in order to understand what's holding renters back, we need to know who they are, where they are, and why they're renting.""
""America's rental landscape is being shaped by cost and geography in ways that limit flexibility for almost every type of tenant. Whether it's young professionals moving inland for breathing room or families in high-cost markets stuck behind an affordability wall.""
A report from Realtor.com identifies three groups of renters facing challenges in the current housing market: young renters, family renters, and long-term renters.

The report emphasizes that cost and geography are shaping the rental landscape, limiting flexibility for tenants across the board.
