New York City housing shortage

>For many decades, the New York metropolitan area has suffered from an increasing shortage of housing. As a result, New York City has the second-highest rents of any city in the United States. Shortage has long been usual. World War I and World War II left housing shortages that persisted in peacetime.

You're not going to get super accurate population numbers after 2020 because that's when the last census was done. So it's just estimates after 2020.

But that census showed a growth of 629,000 people between 2010 and 2020.

And housing supply grew by 193,000 in that same period.
