What percentage of people own their home?

Globally, about 63% of households own their home, though this varies enormously: Romania has over 95% home ownership; Switzerland has just 36%. The US sits at about 65%. Home ownership rates have generally declined in English-speaking countries since the 1990s due to rising property prices relative to wages.
