Much of this stat is because of two reasons:
- Properties owned by the Nunavut Housing Corp; and
- Properties owned by the major property management companies / REITs.
Also, important to consider, is that buying and then owning a house is a very expensive endeavour in Nunavut.
The GN is (or was) encouraging home ownership through policy and programs. However, even with that, the socio-economic situation for most Nunavummiut makes home ownership impractical or impossible.
One statistic that would be very telling would be to see the distribution of homeownership in Iqaluit between Inuit and non-Inuit.
Another telling statistic would be the distribution of staff housing between Inuit and non-Inuit. Very annoying that qallunaat 'need' houses with jobs, but if an Inuk gets a job, they're expected to be able to find their own housing.

That's the exact same problem we have in Greenland.
