I would be suprised if the 'poor' were able to own a house at all to be frank, nor would I see it as a significant negative if they couldn't as long as there were reasonable stocks of rental housing.
I don't see having to rent a house as being an indicator of deprivation myself, homelessness is another matter obviously.
