I decided to pull that data as well as some additional population and home ownership data on each of the 100 largest cities in the United States from the <a href=\"http:\/\/factfinder2.census.gov\/\" title=\"American FactFinder\">US Census Bureau&#8217;s American FactFinder<\/a> for 2010 Census data.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s where Seattle falls when you sort the top 100 cities by various measures:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Population:<\/strong> #23<\/li>\n<li><strong>Square Miles:<\/strong> #62<\/li>\n<li><strong>Density:<\/strong> #15<\/li>\n<li><strong>Household Size:<\/strong> #100<\/li>\n<li><strong>% with Children:<\/strong> #97<\/li>\n<li><strong>Home Ownership Rate:<\/strong> #69<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I have to say, I expected it to be low, but I was surprised to see Seattle all the way at the bottom when it comes to household size, especially when we&#8217;re so high up the list when it comes to density.  I guess Seattle&#8217;s anti-social tendencies even extend to our own families&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>With just under half of homes in Seattle being owner-occupied, it&#8217;s not surprising that our home prices are higher compared to median household incomes compared to say, Scottsdale Arizona, where 68% of homes are owner-occupied.<\/p>\n<p>This is a good reminder that it&#8217;s much more informative to compare a city&#8217;s housing prices to its own local fundamentals and historic trends than it is to compare one city to another, where the local demographics and economics may be quite different.<\/p>\n<p>Hit the full post for the entire table of all top 100 largest cities.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><em>Click on any column header to sort by that column.<\/em><\/p>\n<style>.row-highlight td {background-color: #CCFFCC;}<\/style>\n<table class=\"sortable\" style=\"margin-top:-15px;\">\n<tr>\n<th>City<\/th>\n<th>State<\/th>\n<th>Pop.<\/th>\n<th>Sq.
