    Can’t find the chart now. But last census found lots of rural areas in fly-over states have surplus housing.

    Like West Virginia had iirc something like 8-10% surplus. Not going to find many people willing to leave cities to move out to West Virginia or Northern Louisiana/Southern Arkansas. People leaving those places are why cities have housing shortages.
