It points to the fact that women live longer and therefore there are more widowers who end up living alone in their house - pretty good evidence of that is the fact that the gender gap in Florida is the most extreme. I would have guessed it had to do with more single mothers than single fathers - the former being more likely to commit to a location overtime by buying instead of renting. But I can't find any evidence of that.
