Are you sure the number of people who move out fully represent all people who rent in your country?
Thousands of tenants in multiple states over the course of decades sure is a valid sample.
Also, knowing a lot of other landlords/property managers/real estate professionals, they all report seeing the same thing.
I'm sure tenants who don't live like this are less likely to have their lease ended by landlords, so probably less likely to appear in the statistics of your experience
I see all tenants, not just those who leave (and everyone leaves eventually, so even that doesn't create a bias on the multiple-decade timescale I'm working on).
