The main reason fewer young Americans own their homes today compared to prior generations is that they’re not getting married at the same rate. Today, only 46% of 30-year-olds are married, compared to 89% at the peak in 1970. These would-be couples are instead single and often living with their parents. The data suggests that both their marriage and home ownership rates will catch up when they’re older. (home-economics.us)
