Thanks that’s very interesting. Why was pre-war homeownership low? Did more people rent their homes?


Yes. And there was much more variation in the types of housing. Employer provided forms/bunk houses, flop houses, tenements, boarding houses, etc.

Importantly the quality of the housing was in many cases horrendous.
