MP: Map above (click to enlarge) shows the variation in home ownership rates across the U.S., from three states above 76% (W. Va, Delaware and Michigan) to three states below 64% (Nevada, CA and NY). Sorry about the poor resolution, that's as good as I could get it.

As you observe, Nevada & California have home ownership of less than 64%. It is interesting that NV, CAL, FL, and MI have most been affected by the housing bubble & subsequent foreclosures. Yet only MI has a high rate of home ownership which seems to dampen the CRA thesis somewhat.
