In  1936  71%  of  Māori  lived  in  dwellings  that  the  whānau  owned,  by  1991  the   ownership  rate  had  fallen  to  56%,  by  2013  it  was  at  43%,  and  today  it  is  likely  to  be   below  40%.  This  is  compared  to  the  national  average  of  70%  for  Pākēha  (Stats  NZ   2016).  If  home  ownership  continues  to  decline  at  the  rate  it  has  been  falling  since   1991  Māori  will  almost  be  entirely  renters  by  2061.  This  would  be  a  social  and   economic  disaster.
