Size of Avg. US home over time

[davelj]

I read the other day that the size of the average US home in 1960 was 1200 square feet. By 1980 it was up to almost 1800 square feet and today it’s over 2200 square feet. That surprised me. I would have guessed that the average home was maybe 1500 square feet in 1960 and about 2000 square feet today, so I would have been wrong by a few hundred square feet on both ends. So, the average home in the US is over 80% larger today than it was 50 years ago and yet the size of the average family is a bit smaller. Anyhow, I found this interesting.

The Irish Elk, which, prior to its extinction, had antlers that were 12 feet across. The male antlers evolved to become larger and larger over time. It had come to depend on the size of his horns for his sexual desirability, and in the end it needed so much phosphorous to sustain these horns, that the entire species died out.
