Another one in five (20%) are rented apartments in high-rise buildings with five or more stories, while one in five (20%) are apartments in low-rise buildings with fewer than five stories. The remaining residences are divided almost equally between row houses (8%) and duplexes[8] (7%). Just over half (51%) of all residences are owner-occupied with just under half (49%) are rented.[9]
