What the number means
Owner-occupied housing units as a share of occupied housing units.
This rate measures tenure, not whether homes are affordable. It can change with household formation and occupancy as well as ownership. A higher rate alone does not demonstrate better housing access or security.
Not seasonally adjusted. Does not measure affordability, housing quality, or household wealth.
A better question to ask
Pair ownership goals with cost burden, housing quality, and access for the intended beneficiaries.
This is a prompt for investigation, not evidence that a particular policy works. A trend alone cannot establish a cause.
