William Freh discusses what the demographic complexion reflected by the Census 2000 data means for real estate investment.
"As Chairman Greenspan stated in one of his least cryptic moments: "The census is indispensable for understanding America's economy. It ensures the reliability of the statistics we rely on for sound economic policy and for successful business planning." ...It helps to answer the critical questions of how people in the U.S. will live, and most importantly, where they will live, work and shop... Reis's Sam Truitt explores the demographic complexion reflected by the Census 2000 data, and what these might mean for real estate investors, with Dr. William Frey, a Senior Fellow at the Milken Institute and Research Scientist on the faculty of the Population Studies Center at the University of Michigan. Dr. Frey has also served as a consultant to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development for the 1995 President's National Urban Policy Report and for the State of Cities 2000 Report."
