Reads like you are correlating a decrease in pool popularity to young people living in apartments and not owning tables because of it. Therefore decreased interest in the sport.
I didn't own a table until 30 after building a house at 27. But all the years leading up to that, being young, it was more fun playing in bars and pool halls anyway.
So I'm not sure how renting apartments has much to do with pool popularity.
I was are you saying that my correlation is wrong? I don't know very many people who would build their own house. Also I know tons of people who are still living in apartments way past 30. Maybe I am wrong though. Feel free to correct me.
Basically if you want to get good you need your own set up. That way you can practice anytime on your own. And I just don't see that happening at least where I live.
I think it would be hard to take your microcosm and apply it to the entire US. Pool is cheap, if you want table time, it doesn't cost much. Anyone can develop a great game on rented table time. It's commitment like anything else.

Looking at stats/analytics on my YouTube channel, I'm surprised that most viewers and subscribers are older, over 40 or 50. Maybe it's because I'm not a young hotshot anymore and I don't engage well with younger players. I have a tendency to explain/talk too much, and I know when I was younger I had less patience for listening to a bunch of words. I also know that most younger pool players have larger egos than older, more experienced players, so the likelihood of younger players seeking help to improve their game is probably not as common when compared to older, more humble players.
I'm curious now about the age demographics of other pool-related YouTube channels, and whether or not there's a developing trend with pool in general or of it's just a channel-specific anomaly.

Already OLD & Getting OLDER
I'm 77 & before the shutdown, I played about 4 times a week. I'm in the Pool & Billiard's Business & am having a great time... Even though our Pool Room is closed, the BreakRAK business is doing well. I have some to be shipped today.
Take care & stay well, tomorrow is coming & we want to be ready for it.
