There are still huge chunks of the city not participating in that, where households are shrinking in size and vacancies are increasing.
I don't know how it will all net out, but that is why you can have so many new units without large net population growth citywide.
However, one thing I can guarantee--the demographics will once again be dramatically changed, because both the additions of populations in new units and loss of population in other areas contribute to that change.
