Homeowners Refuse to Accept the Awkward Truth: They’re Rich | The Walrus

Owners of the multi-million-dollar properties still see themselves as middle class, a warped self-image that has a big impact on renters

That’s a great question, and I can’t seem to find an answer. I got my information from stats Canada, but I can’t seem to find how they define a home owner.

Looks like it’s people who report ownership on their taxes, i.e. legal owners. So either one or both parents would be a “homeowner”, depending on whether it’s singly or jointly owned, but other adult tenants wouldn’t be (unless they were partial owners).
