I was curious and looked at vacant homes across the world.

So the US has about 13 Million vacant homes (with 1/4th the population of India). [1]

China has anywhere from 69 to 85 million vacant homes (approx. same population as India)

EU has about 11 Million vacant homes (with 40% of the population of India). [3]

I would say a lot more fine grained analysis is required to say if this is a problem or not.

I am not sure I understand this calculation. India's population is more than a billion

I meant China has approx. the same population as India.
