The numbers in the West seem a bit exaggerated. I would've thought the numbers were lower. I also wonder about the percentage of those homeowners that are on a mortgage.

Numbers are most likely way lower among the youth, my brother went to Germany for work and apparently they consider owning a home completely impractical.

They often do consider owning a home impractical. Renter protections are ok but it's still a very illogical thing.
