The median renter is 42 years old. Even a basic Google search would have saved you needing to post that comment. [1]https://www.zillow.com/research/renters-housing-trends-repor... | ||

> The median age of a renter is 42 years old and about half (46%) of renters are under the age of 40; only 10% of renters are in their seventies or older, and 15% are in their sixties. In other words, the age distribution of renters trends younger than the overall US population. Which tells us exactly what the GP brought up: renters are younger than buyers. | ||

Age doesn't matter. The median renter has smaller and worse housing than the median mortgage payer. For the same accommodation, renting is always more expensive than owning. | ||
