What can be a common effect of rapid population growth on housing?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Housing demand may increase

Housing is a basic need, so a growing population usually creates demand for more homes. More people and households require additional rooms, houses, or apartments. If construction, land supply, and public services do not expand quickly enough, the result may include higher rents or prices, overcrowding, and growth of informal settlements.

Therefore, option B is correct: housing demand may increase. The word “may” is important because the actual outcome also depends on migration, household size, incomes, and construction policies. Rapid population growth does not make all houses vacant, automatically enlarge land, or reduce housing demand. It generally puts additional pressure on available housing.
