STATASTIC 02
May 18th, 2007
Collecting material for “China’s Appetite,” we came across some information that didn’t directly relate, but nevertheless freaked us out. In the “statastics” section, we’ll highlight some of the best/worst things we found…
A typical new single-family home in the U.S. is nearly 2,500 square feet (232 square meters) today, up from about 1,000 square feet (93 square meters) in 1950, even as the average household has shrunk from 3.4 to 2.6 people.
