- makr17 8y agoWell, yes. But California _also_ has the highest population of the states. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_states_and_territories_of_the_United_States_by_population#State_rankings https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_states_and_territories... Might be more fruitful to look at a per-capita metric?
- Domenic_S 8y agoImagine a state that has only two houses, both with a pool. 3 people live in one house, 1 person lives in the other. That’s 0.5 pools per capita, but for our purposes is a sufficient number of pools - 1 pool per structure.
- lozaning 8y agoSilly metric though. We have the most people/homes so of course we have the most pools. Arizona kicks our ass in the number of pools per person though.
- rconti 8y agoSo, we're in the low double-digits in terms of percentage? Seems like relatively few. As in, it's not uncommon to live here and not know anyone with a pool.
