MILLENNIAL HOMEOWNERSHIP
U.S. Census data points to a stark divide between millennials who own homes and those who fear they never will. Millennial homeownership reached an all-time high last year, with 51 percent of millennials owning their own homes. However, one in four said they plan to rent forever. Those who haven't been able to buy said they don't have enough money for a down payment.
