Any resources to find more data on midterm renters?

With the expansive reach of online real estate data, more people can see more details about a property.

According to the US census data Los Angeles, CA county population declined 3.5% in the last few years as you can see here:(Data from April 2020 - July 2023).But Real Estate prices went up in that period 25% according to Zillow (From $665,868 to $834,772).Rents went up 18% (From $2,380 to $2,827).How that can be?

You could pull out foreclosure data for the county and doorknock...

Happy to share more data and insights.
