How Housing Costs Are Driving U.S. Birth Rates to Record Lows

U.S. birth rates have fallen to a record low, and soaring housing costs are a major factor.

We also discuss research from the National Bureau of Economic Research that links housing costs directly to fertility decisions. For investors, these trends highlight how affordability challenges are influencing both demographics and the future of the housing market.
