Near as I can tell from Googling around, they make up 2-6% if the US housing stock.

60% of US housing is detached single family homes.

They aren't all huge and architecturally peculiar though.

For 700 homes.

Yeah, how many houses are there?

There is a ton of 4 story stick-built multi family housing in the US

Okay that's interesting. Wouldn't expect most of those homes to be primary residences, but rather vacation homes. I wonder if those count too.

houses aren't the only thing in the equation.

I was going to say you're wrong because here in the NE there are loads of townhouses, duplexes and bungalows, but you're right - in the US single family homes and apartments dominate. https://www.census.gov/construction/chars/highlights.html

Oh nice, where are these 250K houses?

deelowe | karma 6935 | avg karma 2.74 · | 2020-06-05 02:12:27

OP said home, not house. This would include apartments.

pkulak | karma 11176 | avg karma 3.68 · | 2022-08-25 11:01:15

OP said _home_, not single family house.

MBCook | karma 29166 | avg karma 3.93 · | 2023-10-06 14:57:29

What’s the number for houses?

chrisjarvis | karma 280 | avg karma 2.19 · | 2020-08-19 02:38:27+00:00

probably single family home

tomcam | karma 20387 | avg karma 2.53 · | 2019-05-29 01:37:54+00:00

They are homes.

sgt101 | karma 7195 | avg karma 1.98 · | 2016-09-24 17:35:46+00:00

Interesting; how many homes in a district?

MickerNews | karma 49 | avg karma 0.64 · | 2019-07-27 19:18:31

In most other countries we call these homes.

seanmcdirmid | karma 34701 | avg karma 1.77 · | 2021-07-19 21:48:15

I don’t think there are many of them in the states except for maybe a few penthouses.

cmdrfred | karma 1797 | avg karma 0.87 · | 2017-04-20 08:19:33

I'm in the US. I'm told houses are bigger and further spaced apart here. So perhaps that is why it's more common here.

tonyedgecombe | karma 14463 | avg karma 1.72 · | 2021-05-03 11:24:20+00:00

But the houses aren't.
