The proportion of Greater Hartford households that own their home continued to decline last year, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
The Hartford metropolitan area had a home ownership rate of 68.5 percent in 2014. It was the third annual drop, down from 69.8 percent in 2013 and 70.8 percent in 2012.
The decline follows a national trend, according to Census data, which is drawn from a questionnaire involving 72,000 housing units across the country.
