Resident outlook for 2027

If first-choice demand keeps its 2023 to 2026 trend (-25 applicants a year), about 247 residents would apply in 2027; with the same number of first-choice licenses, overall first-choice odds would be about 3%. Average bonus points among first-choice applicants are trending to about 2.2 (+0.19 a year), a measure of point creep in a weighted draw. Confidence: medium.
