Small Apartments, Tall Buildings: The New Norm
A Bloomberg analysis highlights that the average size of new U.S. apartments has dropped by over 10% in the past decade, while the share of units in larger buildings (50+ units) has steadily increased. This shift reflects rising land and construction costs, along with changing urban preferences. More renters are trading space for amenities and proximity to transit.

Absorption Rate
The Absorption Rate measures how quickly available units in a market or property are leased over a given time. It’s typically expressed as the number of units leased per month.
A high absorption rate suggests strong demand and efficient leasing, while a low rate may indicate oversupply or weak interest. Developers and investors track this closely to time project launches and set rent expectations.
