I'm reading Eric Schlosser's Command and Control right now (1). Housing becomes quite elastic in the face of bombing. Fred Iklé actually developed a formula based on WW2 Germany for RAND: Fully compensating increase in housing density = (P1 - F) / (H2) - (P1 / H1) * P1 = Population of city before destruction * P2 = Population of city after destruction * H1 = Housing units before destruction * H2 = Housing units after destruction * F = Fatalities The tipping point seemed to be reached when about 70% of a city's homes were destroyed. That's when people began to leave en masse and seek shelter in the countryside.
