Homeownership rate in England 2024, by age
Homeownership in England showed a stark generational divide in 2024. About 78 percent of those aged 65 and above lived in an owner-occupied home, which contrasts sharply with younger age groups, particularly those under 35. Less than half of 25 to 35 year-olds lived in an owner-occupied home. The disparity highlights the growing challenges faced by younger generations in entering the property market, a trend that has significant implications for wealth distribution and social mobility.
