(ZEROHEDGE) – The millennial generation has finally reached a critical milestone of more than half owning their homes, according to a new report by the real estate site Apartment List, citing the latest data from the Census Bureau. Compared with other generations, millennials have reached the 50% mark slower than previous generations.

The current millennial homeownership rate is 51.5%, while all other generations are between 69% and 78%.
