> Median and Average Square Feet of Floor Area in New Single-Family Houses Completed by Location
There are some caveats there: these data are for new, single-family houses only.
In many urban job centers, people tend not to live in new housing, or in single-family homes -- particularly not people between 18 and 35.

- maxerickson 10y agoThe number of households has roughly doubled since 1970. http://www.census.gov/hhes/families/files/graphics/HH-3.pdf http://www.census.gov/hhes/families/files/graphics/HH-3.pdf So lots of people are living in newer homes.
- nostromo 10y agoThat may be true, but that's not a good data set to use either way. The graph only accounts for 45 million houses in the US, including only the houses owned by the young and the old. But that is a small fraction of US homes. (If those were all homes, the average household size would be 7 people.)
