It seems to me like there’s a big difference between “since the 1960s” and “always.” Is there no good data going at least 100 years further back?

That largely conforms to my gut that the urbanization concomitant with the Industrial Revolution would have led to a nadir in home ownership. I wish it went back earlier!
