[GBlist] house thoughts

[Mary Kraus <mkraus@krausfitch.com>]

John Salmen's recent post notes an average US (?) house size of about 2500 
SF.  I assume this is an average for single-family homes only, and does not 
factor in people living in apartments?

I would be curious to know what the average living space is in the US (and 
other countries), factoring in all modes of dwelling from apartments to 
single-family.  (Space per household as well as space per person.)  Does 
anyone have figures on this, or know good sources for this kind of information?

Thanks.
