Well the UK data is from 7 years ago. But still, did 65% really own their own home? I'm wondering if it's the percentage who aren't living in a rented property, rather than owning their own home? As the majority of people in their 20s and 30s are either renting or technically homeless and living with family or friends. And even then, many of those in the latter situation will be in a rented property. Maybe I just have a wildly skewed idea of home ownership here, I dunno

Yeh these numbers seem crazy high, I know precisely one homeowner and that was literally by inheritance from a random uncle they'd never heard of before.
