When can housing availability per person decline because of population growth?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: When housing construction grows more slowly than population

Housing availability per person depends on both the number of people and the number of housing units. If population grows faster than the housing supply, the same homes must be shared by more people. This reduces the average housing space available to each person, even if the total number of homes has increased somewhat.

Therefore, option A is correct: housing availability per person can decline when housing construction grows more slowly than population. This situation may produce crowding and pressure on rents and services. If construction grew faster than population, availability per person would generally improve. Equal births and deaths would not by themselves create population growth, and rural residence does not answer the supply-demand comparison.
