It seems like their is some misunderstanding of the map.
Here is the information that has been provided on Instagram for this post:

Being an owner or a tenant of your home is something that differs significantly among the Member States.

In the EU in 2021, 70 % of the population lived in a household owning their home, while the remaining 30 % lived in rented housing. The highest shares of ownership were observed in Romania (95 % of the population lived in a household owning their home), Slovakia (92 %, 2020 data), Hungary (92 %) and Croatia (91 %).

Of all the countries analysed, Switzerland and Germany were the only ones where renting was more common than owning.

FYI there's a duplicate sentence there:

In the EU in 2021, 70 % of the population lived in a household owning their home, while the remaining 30 % lived in rented housing.

There are two kinds of people. Those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.
