...apparently, NOT everything is bigger in Texas

Big families and basements.

No one builds basements in North Carolina. It is too wet here I think.

Same with Florida. That would definitely skew the findings.

Here's all the discussion you could ever want on the topic

Utah counts basement sqft, many other states do not.

One thing I've seen when comparing in other areas, Utah almost universally counts basement space as part of square

Pete

In Michigan, it's illegal to count even finished basements in square footage

Japan Coug

Same in Missouri. Square footage is finished square feet above ground

Where have you seen that? I've looked at a lot of Utah homes on Zillow and even

Here is a Zillow example. 800 above ground and 800 below to get to the total sqft.

That's fair, and I'm not necessarily disagreeing. I'm just saying I've looked at

Team Chaos

I'd look elsewhere, like realtor.com.

Tokolosh

Just quickly checked two Utah homes on realtor.com. Neither have basement square

Team Chaos

May 16, 3:27pm

Do they have basements?

Tokolosh

May 16, 3:29pm

They do, and they both have completely finished basements as well. The basement

Team Chaos

May 16, 3:31pm

Do you have the listings? I've never seen it in Utah.

Tokolosh

May 16, 3:35pm

My house on zillow only includes the finished square feet. The total sqare feet is 4700. That's what it is

Pete

May 16, 3:47pm

What would it be without any of the basement square footage at all?

Japan Coug

2300

This is how your square footage would be reported in many/most other states.

Easy.....because of children.

Big families, and counting basements in square footage (many other states don't)

Is your "dwelling" above/below the average?

One word: BASEMENTS

Tysman Rap

Basement i.e., we mean large amounts of space for food storage and ammo

braddahmike

Ha. Europe sucks. Look how tiny their dwellings are.

Ham

May 16, 3:28pm

Would be interesting to see this as sq ft per household member too

Hawaii has the smallest dwellings. Makes sense. Who is there for the indoors?
