-Spector-: It's analogous to how "how many dozens are there a pair?" (1/6) compares to "how many pairs are there in a dozen?" (6). A dozen, and a byte, are both composed of multiples of obvious, basic units (the number one and the bit, respectively), whereas a house is not generally composed of a multiple of persons. |

There will be a general answer, though. Take the number of households and the number of people in each and average it. You might come out with a horrible number like 4.72 people/house but it's an answer, and a decent indication of how the American population lives. |

Sure, things will change from state to state, city to city, and probably even street to street, but as a start it's not bad. |

I don't think a person's average ability to fit houses inside him- or herself is particularly dependent on his or her geographic address. |

I think it might matter on the size of the house. |

I could possibly disappear a gingerbread house over the course of a few days. |

GHCL (Gingerbread House Consumption Limit) seems like a decent statistical measure for determining or projecting a person's BMI. |
