What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Benjamin K. Couillard estimates that rising housing costs account for 51 percent of the decline in U.S. fertility between the 2000s and the 2010s. His research, which used a detailed computer model, found that higher housing costs correlated with fewer births in the United States. Couillard also noted that homes with three or more bedrooms were more effective at encouraging people to have children than smaller apartments.
