Of course individual circumstances will vary, but ignoring the averages is just selective ignoring of the evidence that, across the country, those who are 65 and over are more likely to own their own home and are almost three times more likely to own it outright than any other age group in the country.
As an age group, it's an undisputable fact that they're more well off than those under their age.
The individual circumstance is irrelevant to the overall metric, as no matter how many pensioners are struggling, a higher proportion of non-pensioners are struggling too.
