A64Pilot Posted December 24, 2022 Report Posted December 24, 2022 Average house size by decade https://www.newser.com/story/225645/average-size-of-us-homes-decade-by-decade.html Better breakdown by year including average sq ft per person, average earnings etc https://247wallst.com/special-report/2016/05/25/the-size-of-a-home-the-year-you-were-born/11/ More people lived in those small houses than today too, but strangely the number of people living in a house is increasing very recently reversing a trend of shrinking family size for decades, that’s because kids are moving back in, 58% of young adults are still living at home, 62% of those contribute nothing to family expenses yet apparently are responsible for a surge in luxury items from $1,000+ phones, smart watches to $5 cups of coffee etc. https://thehill.com/policy/finance/3777185-more-adult-children-are-living-with-their-parents-parents-are-not-pleased/ Add in the number of divorces (they often aren’t cheap) child support etc. and that adds to younger people no longer being able to afford airplanes etc.
