Brutal Average Floor Area Per Capita (m2)

[The Notorious SLAV]

Insane Slavpill if the average house in Vietnam has already overtaken the average one in Russia (since the data stops in mid/late-2010s and they were converging the entire time).

Average home is more spacious now than ever – here’s why that’s a problem for the environment

Larger homes with fewer occupants have a bigger energy and heating demand.

Dang, australia is where the space is at, huh? although i'm certainly not complaining about the US (although, this graph says nothing about the cost i believe, which is insane)

If Outback murders don't scare you.

Ah, interesting. I mean crime is pretty bad in the US too.

why half the data stops randomly

It's the latest data they had apparently.

What makes the Outback so dangerous is how vast and remote (out of law's reach) it is.

Wonder if they count illegal immigrant families having 12 ppl in the same apartment for the US

Also not sure why Australia is this cooked

Ah, I gotcha. yeah, that does sound kinda dangerous. Hm, I wonder if that space per capita out there in the less populated regions is bringing up the average in that graph and by how much. Would like to see a median alongside that. @The Notorious SLAV interesting, i checked the source (one article that compiled the data) and there's no median data (actually i did not go back to the citations of the source which may have that info). wonder why the median wasn't included, i'm suspecting that it's because it's not quite supporting the author's hypothesis, i tend to have that bias towards skepticism when it comes to academia, but i could be wrong.

Interestingly, the avg dropped for the US around 2007-2008 (financial/housing crisis) it looks like, and never recovered. So, what this tells me, is that they successfully moved people from owning to renting, and just never got them back to owning more space, rather, a certain percentage of the previously owned space was changed to rentals. It's something we all knew, just interesting to see it shown in the data (yet again) i suppose.

Probably just insufficient data, I've looked at some of the citations in the source and they are pretty poor on average.
