Houses and people living in them

<p>My observation was that although I had read that Australians have very large houses compared to other nations,&#160; I was seeing more extended families in those houses,&#160; so the space was being used by more people.&#160; However,&#160; checking further into the statistics,&#160; the US and Australia have the same number of people per household.&#160; 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,&#160; but with the artificially created boom now over,&#160; 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>
