Another data point: Among our 33 households, 4 single men and 14 single 
women are currently homeowners.  The rest are couples and 2-parent 
families. That ratio has held fairly constant throughout.

I think that, aside from any biologically innate desires to own one's home, 
it's easy to posit why single women who have lived through various life 
experiences would value community so greatly compared to men.
