Connection to the community is also shown by the fact that homeowners are engaged in nearly all community activities more frequently than renters. For example, 86 percent of homeowners vote in national elections often or always compared with 68 percent of renters. Homeowners also more frequently read or listen to local and national news, vote in local elections, attend religious services and volunteer their time for a charitable organization.
Homeownership is also correlated with a better self-assessment of health. Forty-four percent of homeowners rate their health as excellent or very good compared with 29 percent of renters.
