Marriage rates seem to have been ignored. That's a factor directly correlated to home ownership.

In all fairness, while these to factors likely explain a portion of the difference in ownership, neither explains the recent drop for Blacks. I looked for articles approaching this like a question seeking an answer, but all I found were articles declaring, with dogmatic certitude, that the sole cause was racism and historical redlining. That’s a possible explanation, of course, but I’m still waiting to see some data and preferably a little bit of that rare objectivity.
