There has been a lot of talk about the falling homeownership rate in the United States. In December 2004, the homeownership rate reached an all-time high of 69.4%, while the current rate is 62.9%. When comparing these two figures, there is some room for concern regarding the difference.
However, today we want to shine some light on the issue by:
* Showing what historic homeownership rates have looked like over the last 130 years.
* Breaking down the current percentages by state.
Historic Homeownership Rates:
Current Homeownership Rates by State:
All of the states that you see in blue on the map above have a greater homeownership rate than the national average.
Bottom Line
Though the homeownership rate has fallen recently, the percentage is still at a healthy rate compared to historic numbers, and most states currently have a higher percentage than the national average. http://www.simplifyingthemarket.com/en/2016/10/27/percentage-of-homeownership-by-decade-and-by-state/?a=242769-4eb2112ad1caac540e99a63dd199d5ed ❤️ #share #mortgage
