right but I'm guessing a huge percentage is baby boomers or Gen X'ers who bought a house 10 or more years ago. I'm curious to see a graph of home ownership rate history for people between 25 and 39 years old, I'm guessing it is lower now than 30 years ago.


It's like 20 points lower for Irish millennials vs gen X re home ownership rates.


A majority of millennials are homeowners. It's maybe two or three points behind where the boomers were at their age.


The only numbers I could find about this disagree with you:

> Just 47.9% of U.S. millennials owned homes in 2020, according to Apartment List analysis of census data. At age 30, millennial home ownership hit 42%, compared with 48% for Gen Xers and 51% for baby boomers.

Maybe you have access to more recent numbers that show that the majority of millennials are homeowners?
