Peter for someone who likes to quote statistical information
( What I do do, is verify facts, preferably with 'primary information' sources or with reputable 'secondary information' sources, such as the Australia Bureau of Statistics, the Reserve Bank of Australia, World Bank, United Nations etc. You may also be interested to know that the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) website is also quite useful. I do not use one single source but verify facts through a number of sources.), your words not mine, perhaps you had better take another look at the figures you are quoting here. Slightly less than 50% are owned outright.2.478M of 4.926M.
The 69% refers to the percentage of total dwellings that are owner occupied. I hope you are more diligent with your other quoted statistics.
