The fourth quarter of 2015 saw a continued rise in homeownership rates from the previous quarter. The U.S. Census Bureau reported that 63.8 percent of Americans owned homes in the last quarter of 2015. The homeownership rate during the third quarter was 63.4 percent. The increase may be correlated with an increase in employment rates and less restrictive credit availability.
