Because percentages don't matter when you're poor. And, of course, a poor person will probably be renting, not owning, a home.
If you've only got $30 left to cover food and electricity (and your heating is all electric), you basically choose between food or heating.
Google seems determined to give me UK stats, instead of US ones. Perhaps in the US you become homeless before you have to make that choice?
