Demographic influences on household growth and housing activity
Abstract: When the baby-boom generation entered the housing market in the 1960s and '70s, the role of residential construction activity in the U.S. economy gained strength. Now that the baby boomers are maturing, the need for new housing has slowed. This, along with other demographic factors, may keep residential construction activity subdued through the end of the century.
