This is not entirely accurate. Slave ownership by household was around 50% in some Southern states, and averaged around 35%.
True it wasn't accurate, but then neither is your stat.

The standard image of Southern slavery is that of a large plantation with hundreds of slaves. In fact, such situations were rare. Fully 3/4 of Southern whites did not even own slaves; of those who did, 88% owned twenty or fewer. Whites who did not own slaves were primarily yeoman farmers.

My stat was by household, not by individual, so yes it was accurate.
