Now Available On Demand
Apartment demand patterns are likely to shift as the progression of COVID-19 continues to change public and private environments in the U.S. With the economy slowing into a recession and health risks increasingly on the rise, there’s no doubt the impact will be seen and felt in the nation’s apartment sector.
While it’s important to look at the different demand patterns from one metro to another and the urban core versus the suburbs, there is also value in looking at the shifting demographics in the marketplace-at-large.
