This is a line chart that illustrates the percentage of people living in an owned dwelling, by cohort of 20 year olds in 1985, 20 year olds in 1990 and 20 year olds in 1995.
Each cohort is represented by a line.
The Y axis is measured by percentages and increases by increments of ten from 0 to 90 percent.
On the X axis from left to right are the age of the cohorts from age 20 to age 41, in increments of one.
For each cohort, the majority of 20 year olds lived in dwellings where someone in the household was the owner – most likely their parents. The percentage living in owned dwellings then decreased for all cohorts, then began to increase again around age 26.
There is a footnote to the graph as follows. GSS 2002 has been included in 20-year old cohorts.
