But even with a lower voter turn out, there could still be more voting renters. A sibling post has stats from 15 years ago but a lot has changed since then. My gut feeling is that more people are struggling to buy than to pay back mortgages but I have no stats to back that up.

Almost every country has more home owners than renters, so no. In USA its 65%.
