Yeah, but in the 70s you'd probably be living in an apartment built in the 1930s. The ones actually built in the 70s were a small minority back then, just like the ones built in the 2010s are a minority today.

I don't think that's true. Remember that there was a massive post-war boom in population and construction starting in the 50s and extending for several decades until the land got used up in cities. Chances are if you were old enough to rent an apartment or buy a house in the 70s, it was built within the last 20 years.
