Induced demand does not necessarily rely on new residents - just new traffic. That traffic can be generated by people currently living there who choose to make additional trips just because it is easier to drive. E.g if traffic is bad you may plan more carefully and do more trip chaining like stopping at grocery store on the way home from work. Make traffic better and some people will plan less carefully and make additional trips.
