A recent study in the USA shows that homes are 150% larger than they were in the 1980s. Data from the U.S. Census Bureau was analysed to visualize just how much homes have grown in size since the 1970s.
Here’s what they found:
The median home size for newly constructed houses has increased by 150% since 1980.
While houses are getting larger, the median household size has decreased by 16% since 1940.
The median home sales price in 2019 was $239,900.
Of the 10 largest cities in the U.S., Houston and Atlanta get you the most house for your dollar. Unsurprisingly, New York and Los Angeles were the most expensive per square foot.
