Total Poulation: 18,996,636
Total US population: 33,300,000
Minimum Total percent of US population living with this issue: 57%
What you fail to grasp is just how very many people live in very very few places.
This gets even crazier when you account for the greater Boston population. Boston being an ancient city relative to America, has an incredibly small size. The metropolitan area extends far beyond it as the second most densely populated part of America after NYC with 4.9 million people living in greater Boston. If you account for that the 10 most expensive regions account for nearly 70% of the us population.
Oh fuck me I missed that zero. Thanks, this is what I get for doing all that math on my phone scratch pad
Well, I’ll just grab the top 50 cities and it’s the same point.
The whole point is a shit load of people live in a very tiny space relative to the total size of the country as a whole. This drives online conversion around how expensive things are since online we actually interact with people from all over

Uh, you’re off by a factor of 10 there. Population of the US is closer 330 million, so it’d be 5.7%
