1. I understand that school enrollment has also been quite stable. Don't
any of these people we think ar moving in have children? Or could this be
explained away because are we moving into a "baby bust" part of the
population cycle?
2. A few years ago, when housing was so tight in Moscow, there was some
evidence household size was increasing, compared to a long-term down trend.
More people were apparently squeezing into what housing was available. Now,
one could hypothesize that people are again spreading out -- the same number
of people occupying more housing units.
Anybody have any ideas of data one could look at to test these kinds of
hypotheses?
