In 2017/18, the average size of a new house built in Australia was 230.8 square metres (m²), (2484.3105 ft²) down from 232.8m² (2505.84 ft²) in 2016/17 and well down from the record high of 247.7m² (2666.22 ft²) in 2008/09.

Pretty good, right up until the end. Are you implying average homes are larger in Australia? If so, your chart refers to apartments, not houses. Heres some data for US homes in 2018.

I've always said that if you wanted to run away and disappear in the US, then somewhere along the line, you're gonna have to change your last name to Smith.

That doesn't surprise me actually. There were a lot of German immigrants throughout US history. Outside of my Italian-Irish heritage, I've got a heavy German ancestry. When I was in college, there were always German students there and oddly enough, I got along with them a hell of a lot better then I did with the other foreigners. Before my mother's Uncle Mike passed away a few years ago, he was doing a genealogy project, and traced my mother's side of the family to specific areas near the Black Forest region of Germany. He was actually in contact with a few distant relatives there and they told him that there were other distant relatives somewhere in the US Midwest.

Not implying anything..... It's a comparison. Most Australians live in houses not apartments.

This a small thing but what really surprises me about the most spoken language outside of English and Spanish map is that French Creole has a larger presence in Florida than it does in Louisiana. I thought the Creole were more prevalent in Louisiana. Most sources say that they are.

SchwartzWalder bist Du!? Sehr gut!



Same in Oz. We have lots of Germans, particularly prolific in moderate density rural areas. I think there are a lot more than you would account for, they work hard, don't attract much attention and keep to themselves.

Inside their houses..so behind closed doors it can be a real treat, lots of Germanic style and customs on view.

I love this one too, the amount of snow it takes to cancel school in various parts of the US. It affirms what you'd probably guess, but still cool to see it visualized.

You're not kidding about the Christmas trees. I've driven the back roads in South Georgia all the way up to Macon. Christmas tree farms as far as thee eye can see. Huge farms with the trees all perfectly lined up in precise rows and columns. If you stayed on the interstate roads, you'd never know that the farms were there. There's also cotton farms, peach farms, onion farms (Vidalia, yo!)... I've seen a few large grazing farms with a bunch of cattle.

Totally unrelated, but there was this one place traveling one of the back roads around those areas, going north, nothing but woods for like 10 miles, and it opened up on the left side of the road. Pristine green grass, perfectly trimmed, a southern style ranch house set way back away from the road, and behind it a huge ass lake with a boat deck, and the entire property bordered by the thick woods surrounding it. Serene, peaceful. It looked like a freakin' painting. Once you passed it, nothing but woods again for miles. I always told myself that if I became rich and I could swing it, I'd find a place like that and buy it and just live out the rest of my life there. You could bury me right on the grounds after I died.

That's super funny, the Christmas tree section jumped right out to me! Interesting to hear what it looks like. I wonder what percent of the nation's trees that one area produces.
