住房拥有率

一项针对美国人口普查局（CensusBureau）数据进行的分析显示，美国黑人和白人的住房拥有率差距创下自16年前开始编制相关数据以来的最高纪录。

在过去6个月内，两个族群住房拥有率之差达到1994年人口普查局开始收集此项数据以来的最高水平，而前几届政府均承诺要缩小二者差距。

In the past six months that gap , which previous administrations pledged to close , reached its widest level since the Census Bureau started collecting the information in 1994 .

从住房拥有率的下降，到家庭转而与他人合住，再到伴侣推迟结婚，这份报告从多方面阐述了美国人的生活怎样因当前衰退遭到了颠覆。

From falling home ownership to families moving in with other to couples putting off marriage , the report illustrated the multiple ways that the recession has upended Americans ' lives .

美国住房拥有率从2004年创下的峰值（超过69%），降至2010年第4季度的66.5%，达到12年来的最低水平。

US home ownership fell from a peak rate of more than 69 per cent in 2004 to 66.5 per cent in the last quarter of 2010 , its lowest level for 12 years .

对全体美国人来说，关于政府将致力提高住房拥有率的想法已随着白宫出台的住房融资计划而烟消云散。该计划将逐步关闭受政府支持的住房抵押贷款担保机构，强调租房的作用。

For all Americans , the idea that the government would drive the rate of home ownership has evaporated with the White House plan for housing finance , which winds down the government-sponsored mortgage guarantors and emphasises the role of renting .
