Home ownership rates in socialist and former countries are higher than in the West.

  Only if you count "home ownership" as just owning your apartment (many Eastern-bloc countries sold cheaply their state-owned apartments to their residents after 1989). At least in the US, "home ownership" largely implies owning a single-family house with a yard. That's the (perhaps unsustainable) "American Dream".

I'm sorry to say that what you present is more comparable to being unhoused.
