Over the last 37 years, California's ownership levels have seen minimal growth of 1.5 percentage points, despite multiple initiatives aimed at boosting homeownership. This stagnation reflects a broader trend, where other states, such as Colorado and New Hampshire, experienced substantial increases in ownership. Nationally, the homeownership rate rose slightly by 1.8 percentage points during the same period, showcasing California's continued struggle within this sphere.
California's homeownership rate remains stubbornly low at 55%, just ahead of New York, despite decades of incentives, showing minimal improvement since the late 1980s.
The state's ownership peaked during the bubble in 2006 at 60%, but has seen only a marginal rise of 1.5 percentage points over 37 years.
Compared to national trends where ownership increased by 1.8 percentage points since 1988-90, California's performance is mediocre, ranking 29th among the states.
