The parking conundrum in the United States has been gaining\npace over a long time now. With population increasing, and cars becoming common\nstock, there is an added emphasis on parking and what kind of responsibility is\nexpected out of people here. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a bid to fuse this conundrum, and to look at some of the\nstats pertaining to it, we will be discussing how certain cities in the United\nStates rank up when it comes to parking spaces per household. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To put our research into perspective, Seattle has roughly 5\nparking spaces for every household. This number roughly translates to over 1.6\nmillion parking spaces in the whole city. Interestingly enough, a smaller city\nin the region, Des Moines, has almost the same number of parking spaces\n(roughly 1.6 million) but for a lot less households. After doing the math here,\nwe reached the figure of 19.4 parking spaces for every household in this small\ncity. Now, this number for parking spaces per household goes even further for even\nsmaller towns such as Jackson and Wyoming! Both Jackson and Wyoming have a\nstunning rate of 27.1 parking spaces for every household. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Studying these stats does show that there is a parking\nconundrum in the bigger cities of the United States. To further put things into\nperspective, let\u2019s study the average parking space covered by a driver in the\nUS. Drivers here usually take over 28 square meters of parking space. This is\ncomparable to the following metrics: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
