But the numbers favor an increase in viable units of housing through the cycle of life. Folks over 65 have a 3% higher home ownership rate over other ten-year population groups.
Plus they are a larger group. They make up 4% more of the population than younger cohorts.
Natural attrition over the next fourteen years or so will loosen up supply in the housing market.
It’s not about simply adding more housing units. It’s about communities strategically matching their housing stock to the households they seek to attract — the ones best positioned to support local public infrastructure and services.
