About this ranking

Owner-occupied housing units as a percentage of all occupied housing units. United States: American Community Survey five-year estimate, where the period shown is the last year of the five-year span.

Counts households (occupied housing units), not people. EU home ownership rates (population_in_owner_occupied_homes_share) count people living in owner-occupied dwellings, so they are not comparable.

Every value in the ranking comes from the same publisher and the same period, so the cities are compared on one definition. Equal values share a rank.
