The typical American single-family home/Everyday Places
The median American single-family home has about 195 square meters (2,100 square feet) of floor space, which sounds like plenty until you fill it with furniture, children, and the accumulated regret of impulse Amazon purchases. The average house weighs around 90 tonnes, not counting the contents of your garage.
