I find this stat odd.
It runs counter to another set of data that exists, the rate of home ownership:

Home ownership is a great indicator of "I will vote" and furthermore its an indicator of "I will vote to protect the price of my home"

So for as much as this data may be true, I'm fairly certain that it isnt an accurate measure of how people are going to vote.

A nation where the majority of the electorate our homeowners, benefitting financially when housing is scarce and expensive, and organizes politically to ensure housing stays scarce and expensive, yet consistently tells pollers that it’s caused by anything except their actions.
