Population Boom Will Drive Real Estate Industries

From Realtor Magazine, Daily Real Estate News September 3, 2008

When the Census Bureau released population projections last month, more attention was paid to the country's changing racial composition than to the massive scope of the increase. What's clear is that the latest numbers will inevitably give the real estate business a boost.

The Census Bureau is projecting an increase of 135 million people in the U.S, a 44 percent rise, by 2050. That’s equivalent to the entire populations of Mexico and Canada moving to the United States.

The bureau estimates that this population boom, largely fueled by immigration, will require 52 million new housing units, along with more places for people to shop and work.
