Is there some sort of metric/data/graph for housing concentration? I'd imagine older people might have several properties if many of them bought a main residence, a summer home, etc, 30+ years ago when they were somewhat cheap.

There’s a clear correlation between age and homeownership. The data is relatively stable over time though.
