Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what estimate his Department has made of the proportion of households that owned their home in each year since 2015.

The Department measures the proportion of households in owner occupation in the English Housing Survey.

The proportion of owner occupiers in each year since 2015 can be found in Annex Table 1.1 of the English Housing Survey Headline Report 1018-19. This can be found at: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/english-housing-survey-2018-to-2019-headline-report.

After more than a decade of decline, the proportion of 25-34 year olds in owner occupation has increased and there are now almost equal proportions of 25-34 year olds living in the private rented and owner occupied sectors
