Quite interesting that New York ranks second smallest and a whopping $420/sqft. The data are quite skewed by the NYC area. We sold our typical Western New York home (~1,700 sqft) in 2016 for about $42/sqft.

#12I love the dataset, but this has to be one of the worst visualizations I've seen: it takes way too long to scroll through the whole list and the differences in the size of the rendered houses is essentially meaningless to the average observer.
And it would be nice to have aunit of measure toggle between feet2 and m2

#13How is Utah's size that big? Do they even have forests in Utah?
What is the connection with forests?

I live in a relatively cheap part of the U.K. on the outskirts of a country village. My house I about 10 times that price per square foot.
It never ceases to amaze me how cheap land is in the US

Seconded...... The insistence on displaying data only in units the majority of the world has condemned to obsolescence is baffling.

The article and even the source article are like reading a research paper about beehives written for bee dancers.
Meters? Space per inhabitant? Irrelevant to your next hive where water should only be .5 seconds of beeswagger dance away!
