Size of Avg. US home over time

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.

I guess I’m not surprised by the house size thing. I was born in ’61 (yes, I’m old). The first house I lived in was a 4/2 1326 sf house over in Clairemont. It was plenty big for our family of 5. My dad saw a deal on a foreclosure in late 1965 and bought it… it was HUGE and remote by the standards of the time – 2016 sf. (In 1965 you could only get into University City by Regents Rd… Genesee didn’t connect and 805 and 52 were quite a few years off.)

I know that through high school 2000+ sf was considered a large house compared to my peers. Most of my friends/classmates had smaller houses – more like 13-1800sf.
