The percentage of homeowners who have a mortgage says nothing about how many rent vs own. That said, the relevant number seems to actually be higher.


64.2 percent of Americans are homeowners. Still a majority compared to renters.

I'd noted it was higher so that would follow, yes. I left out the precise number because I saw some variation in the across sources and couldn't be bothered to dig into the details as it didn't make a difference anyway.
