It means to grow up in a home that is not owned by your family and if it is, its in a neighborhood that has low property values so it doesn't contribute much wealth to leave to future generations.

It means that since the property value on that home in that neighborhood is so low, property taxes don't contribute a whole lot to the schools in that neighborhood so the text books aren't as up to date, the budget doesn't leave much for extracurricular education and there isn't much money to pay teachers so that good teachers don't want to teach there leading to an education that has less quality than those in a better economic situation.

It means that parents have to spend more time working to pay bills and less time raising their children which is proven to make them more likely to be exposed to violence (on the giving and receiving end) and illegal activity and to affect their education, which leaves them less likely to be able to better their economic standing and much more likely to repeat the cycle generation after generation. These people aren't very likely to ever be wealthy.

The opposite is the family who lives in home that is both owned by those in it and valuble.

This neighborhood has higher property values, hence, better schools. These kids recieve better educations. They are much more likely to finish school and their parents can afford college. Their parents have some wealth to leave to them which adds to their wealth which they leave to their children and so on. These people aren't likely to ever end up poor.
