This continues to be true despite a gradual increase in the percentage of owner - <br />occupied households over in the time period. Table 5shows how the high percentage of households renting in <br />Seattle tends to drag the King County home ownership rate down. However, Tukwila is more similar to Seattle than <br />it is to the homeownership rate in the area of King County located outside of Seattle. <br />Looking at both Table 5 and Table 6, owner - occupied units are made up primarily of single - family homes and condos <br />in relatively large complexes. Townhouses and condos in developments of less than 10 units make up a small <br />percentage of the housing stock occupied by homeowners. Most renter - occupied units are in apartment complexes <br />having more than five units. Table 5 shows how the majority of multifamily housing with less than 10 units is <br />occupied by renter households. Approximately 20% of single - family homes in Tukwila are also renter - occupied. <br />16 <br />
