Definitely. That's why we need to take things like "Winnipeg's footprint has expanded at a way faster pace than it's population growth" with a grain of salt. While true, strictly speaking, it doesn't account for the fact that average household sizes are about 60% of what they were after WWII (from 4+ then to 2.5 now).
