The number of renter-occupied single family detached homes is about 11.4 million, almost 2.1 million, or 22% higher than in 2006, according to the Census Bureau. Fannie May’s findings showed that younger renters aged 18 to 34 are nearly twice as likely to say their main reason for renting is to prepare financially for future ownership, compared to renters aged 35 and up. The National Housing Survey polls more than 1,000 homeowners and renters each month to assess their attitudes toward owning and renting a home, the current state of their household finances, views on the U.S. housing finance system, and overall confidence in the economy.
