Oregon Homeownership and Tenure and State Rankings and Changes 2007-2006.

I have put together a summary of changes in Oregon homeownership rates and tenure using 2006 and 2007 American Community Survey data.

The PDF file HERE includes an Oregon summary and a detailed listing of HO rates for all states, including minority home ownership rates and ranks.

Summary of Rank Changes 07-06:

1. Oregon's overall HO rate ranked 44th. with no change from 2006.
2. African American HO rate ranking improved slightly from 39th. to 37th.
3. American Indian/Alaskan Native HO rate ranking improved slightly from 44th. to 43th.
4. Asian ranking declined from 10th to 13th.
5. Hawaiian Islander/Pac Island HO rate ranking improved from 20th. to 10th.--(I suspect this is an error as the count of renters decreased substantially).
   
6. White, NOT Hispanic HO rate ranking improved slightly from 47th. to 46th.
7. Hispanic HO rate ranking improved slightly from 36th. to 34th.
8. Oregon's Asian and Native Hawaiian/Pac Islander HO rates are the only Oregon HO rates that exceed the US average (and I think the Native Hawaiian/ Pac Islander rate is suspect).
