What about the other 11%...........does that mean 11% are renting. Is so, that seems low.
dew, let me help your confusion:

The original article states: "Based on the homeownership rate — the share of housing units that are owner-occupied"

So, yes the other 11% are rental units.

The article went on to say: "The areas with the highest ownership rates tend to have larger shares of older residents, who are generally more likely to have accumulated the capital necessary to purchase a house."

Hope this helped.
