Do you have data to backup your 60% claim on housing? Since the Census for 2010 is not out yet, I don’t have data from the same source for 2 time period, so I have to do w/ what I have. Data from the same source would be best.
With regards to cars, cars grew over the last 10 years, so going strictly by the classification of midsize and compact isn’t very useful. You have to compare the interior space and trunk space, not just pure length, since some of that length is for the engine and it’s not very usable. [/quote]
Interior numbers are hard to use. Nine out of ten people don’t even know how they are measured. They are affected by positioning of seats, etc. Exterior dimensions are nice and clean. And I doubt that there were technological advances in the last ten years that shrunk the engine compartment.
Median single family resale price as of Dec. 2010 was 360k
