According to the Census Bureau, in Wisconsin and throughout the U.S., more people than ever are renting homes instead of buying. In July, the Associated Press reported that about 62 percent American households owned their home, which is equal to the rate seen in 1965 and 63 percent less than the rate in the first quarter of 2015.
Millennial households appear to be the primary creators of this trend, data indicates. Adults between 18 and 34 are more likely to rent as opposed to buying a home, due in part to excessive student debt that makes home-ownership a financial burden.
These millennials may be more attracted to renting as there are no property taxes to pay and because a landlord or property management company often incurs costs for malfunctioning appliances and property maintenance, such as lawn care. Students and young professionals may also enjoy the perks that are commonly seen in apartment complexes, such as fitness centers and clubhouses, covered parking and on-site managers.
