Webinar: Housing for a Changing America

Watch a video presentation by the curator of a National Building Museum exhibition about the disconnect between the country's demographics and dwellings

Just as the housing needs of individuals change over a lifetime unprecedented shifts in both demographics and lifestyle have fundamentally transformed our nation’s housing requirements.

Adults living alone now account for nearly 30 percent of American households.
While only 20 percent of today’s households are nuclear families the housing market largely remains fixated on their needs.
By 2030, 1 in 5 people in the United States will be age 65 or over — and by 2035, older adults are projected to outnumber children for the first time ever.
The nation’s housing stock doesn’t fit the realities of a changing America.

Watch a presentation by Chrysanthe Broikos, a curator at the National Building Museum.
