  Pre-Covid the US population was growing about 2m per year. So, if we had 1m excess Covid deaths in the past ~2 years, the population would still have grown by ~1.5m per year.

  Population growth in new areas because of telework. People are fitting into new homes based on not having to drive into urban centers.

  It's more a growth of the home-buying demographics. If you look at it, millenials are a larger demographic boom than the baby boomers. They are basically at or entering their years of top demand for buying homes. If you compare the potential demand to supply, you'll see a mismatch that will likely go on for the next 10 years.

  I don’t think that COVID significantly affect population demographics in non-elderly cohorts. Same point in a different context: I would be skeptical of someone arguing that the reason for the Great Resignation is opportunities opening up in the workforce due to COVID casualties. The numbers just aren’t high enough.
