75 Percent Owner-Occupied Rate in Puerto Rico
In Puerto Rico, 74.5 percent of the occupied housing units are owner-occupied. In the U.S. the ownership rate is 66.9 percent. Only a few states have ownership rates comparable to Puerto Rico's: Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire, and West Virginia.
The findings come from the Puerto Rico Community Survey (PRCS), comparable to the U.S. American Community Survey. The 2005 data are the first for Puerto Rico to be released based on the survey. Data from the PRCS are also available for areas meeting the 65,000 population threshold: metro areas, municipios, urbanas, and the resident commissioner district. Look for the data in the American Community Survey.
