About 2/3 of people own a home, which is a lot, but I'm not sure I'd call it "most people". And for the 1/3 that do not own a home, often already at a disadvantage in ability to build wealth, they will continue to fall further and further behind as rents rise and their wages lose value. It's a bad situation.

Is the figure that 2/3 of homes are owner-occupied? 2/3 of households own at least one home?

edit: 89% of US homes are occupied. Of these, 58% are owner occupied. https://www.census.gov/housing/hvs/files/currenthvspress.pdf

2/3rds of US persons? Or households? A cursory search leads me to believe the latter.
