Wealth inequality between homeowners and renters is striking. Homeowners’ median net worth is 80 times larger than renters’ median net worth. That’s just one of the findings of a recent U.S. Census Bureau report. Detailed tables on household wealth in 2015 reveal wide variations across demographic and socioeconomic groups.
