Home ownership
In many OECD countries home ownership is an important dimension of well-being. It protects owners from fluctuations in rents and ensures families a stable and secure shelter. In addition, the value of a property represents a major source of wealth for households. Differences in the rate of home ownership across OECD countries depend significantly on several factors, including rental subsidies, the existence of high-quality social housing and the deductibility of interest payments on loans from taxable income.
