Renters Are Majority in Big U.S. Cities

``Renters made up the majority of the population in cities at the core of nine of the nation's 11 largest metro areas in 2013, a sharp change from 2006, when renters were the majority in just five of those cities, according to a new report... the report, scheduled to be released Monday by New York University's Furman Center and Capital One Financial Corp. , found a significant shift in the proportion of renters in all major cities--even in lower-density, relatively inexpensive places such as Houston and Dallas.''
