Demographics Overview
Demographics Overview
The U.S. is a land of diverse geography, culture, climate and economic activity. As a nation founded and settled by immigrants, the country has always had a dynamic population. Never has this been more true than today.
Indeed, the U.S. population in the early years of the 21st century is undergoing profound change with increased immigration, a huge age group entering retirement age, another generation in their prime home-buying years, large regional migrations and more. All of these factors will have a huge impact on home purchasing and selling habits and home buyers' design preferences — with major implications for residential developers.
