decade intervals can lose the details, like the Great Recession of late 2000s.

from Appendix Table 1 (Home ownership estimates) in https://www.census.gov/content/dam/Census/library/publicatio... - (extracted columns = Year, Homeowners, Percent of total Households):

According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homeownership_in_the_united_st..., homeownership also depends on your race. Caucasians have a much higher rate of homeownership (higher than the average rate - one guess as to the minority group with the lowest homeownership rate).
