Note: The change in the number of households (and therefore in the number of main
residences) can be broken down into two effects: the "household size effect" and the
"demographic effect."
Indeed, a decrease in average household size leads to an increased housing need, even
if the population remains stable. The remaining part of the change is referred to
as the demographic effect.
These effects can be either positive or negative.
