The National Association of Realtors completed a review of academic research on the benefits of homeownership. Obviously there was an agenda but according to the study the following are a few of the social benefits that stem from homeownership.
*Higher educational performance and better behavior of children
*Lower community crime rates
*Lessened welfare dependency among households
*More household participation in civic affairs
*Better household health.
See NAR’s Social Benefits of Homeownership and Stable Housing
Correlation doth not maketh causation.
Basic rule of statistics.
One might be more inclined to suggest that, since this was a US study, poverty (and thus lack of homeowning) begets crime, not home-ownership.
Germans, for example, rarely own their own homes. I think their crime rate is far less than in the US.
Just so you know
