landownership
Possessing real estate
Landownership is the state of owning land, or the system by which land is owned.
The term often appears in discussions of wealth distribution, agricultural policy, and historical inequity: Landownership was concentrated among a few powerful families.
The single-word form emphasizes landownership as a distinct concept rather than simply owning land.
