Great Question! - There were 190,939 deaths in 2022, almost 20,000 more than 2021.[0] - Migrant departures decreased 2% to 219,000 from 223,000 departures a year ago.[1] So, about 400,000. I guess adding that all up, we have 509,000 net additional persons requiring housing, vs 180,000 additional housing units being produced. So, about 2.8 people per housing unit. So I guess the next question is, how many people live per housing unit, on average? ABS Knows: > In 2046 there are projected to be between 2.4 and 2.6 people per household on average[2] There's still a bit of a discrepancy there, but nowhere near as bad as I thought initially. I'd guess the only question left is "how many people would prefer to live in a less crowded house, if they were financially able"?
