Renters Dominate Housing Market Boom of the 1960s
A long-form analysis argues the 1960s will see a renter surge as apartment building expands rapidly. It forecasts 250000 new units this year, rising to 400000–500000 annually in the decade, driven by 18–24 year olds and 65+ seniors choosing renting over ownership. It notes regional shifts toward apartments and urban services shaping a new housing landscape.
