<p>My observation was that although I had read that Australians have very large houses compared to other nations,  I was seeing more extended families in those houses,  so the space was being used by more people.  However,  checking further into the statistics,  the US and Australia have the same number of people per household.  I suspected and confirmed that my observations were skewed because I was seeing largely first and second generation immigrant neighborhoods. New homes in the US were becoming some of the largest in the world,  but with the artificially created boom now over,  that may change. The US and Australia are adjacent in the <a href="http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/peo_ave_siz_of_hou-people-average-size-of-households"> global statistics</a>. </p>
