Homeownership Rates Increase as Renting Continues to Decrease
Over the last year, more Americans
became homeowners as the number of renters continued to decrease. The homeownership rate has been gradually climbing back since hitting a 50-year low in 2016. The rate peaked in 2004 at 69.2 percent, but despite recent climbs, it still remains below the 25-year average rate of 66.3 percent.
