The number of Millennial homeowners increased by 7 million in the last five years, more than triple the number added by Gen X, who came in second. Millennials remained the dominant renter generation, with 17.2 million renter households. Gen Z is now the only renter-majority generation with a 74% share and 4.5 million renters added in the last five years, more than any other age group. Of the nation’s top 50 largest metros, Richmond, VA, saw the highest jump in Millennial owners — 234%.
