According to Wikipedia, as of 2009:

White non-Hispanic Americans had the highest home-ownership rate, at 74.8%, followed by Asian-Americans (59.3%), Native Americans (56.2%), Latino or Hispanic (48.4%),and African Americans (46.2%).

In terms of household type:

Married couples are by far number 1 when it comes to home-ownership (84.2%), dwarfing all the other household types (all of which are between 50%-60% in their  home-ownership rates).

So...

The greatest correlations, in terms of race and household type, for home ownership are, by far, being white and having a married-couple family.

I'll leave it to others to comment on what this means for political leanings and the correlation between particular leanings and home-ownership (not to mention, why such a correlation would exist!) Smiley

It is supremely farcical to call somebody with an enormous mortgage to home value a home owner. The percent is people who own their own homes in all races is miniscule.

True, but even all those people with large mortgages that they have yet to pay off tend to have different mentalities than renters, and I'd appreciate discussion as to why this is.
