Using modelling to assess housing demand forecast.

With the latest updates from the CSO, it's essential to assess the accuracy of #housingcommission's housing demand forecast against the new population projections. The population of Ireland is projected to grow significantly, impacting the demand for services and infrastructure. Planning ahead is crucial to avoid the housing supply challenges we currently face.

Accurate population modeling is key for economic planning. A reliable forecasting model with transparent assumptions is vital. Utilising simple in-house models can help validate numbers and assess output sensitivity to assumptions. The data in the attached graphics is derived from my in-house model, acknowledging that all models have limitations but can offer valuable insights.
