Study reveals states with the most overcrowded homes in the US

  • LendingTree's analysis of bedroom surpluses and shortages across the US revealed that Wyoming, Delaware, and North Dakota have the most extra bedrooms per household at 47.2%, 46.9%, and 46.4% respectively.
  • LendingTree's analysis suggests that high housing costs are a driving factor in states with less space, while lower housing costs may allow families in other areas to enjoy home offices or spare guest bedrooms.
  • Florida leads the nation with a surplus of 8.8 million bedrooms, likely due to vacation properties, while Maine has the largest surplus when adjusted per 1,000 people with 674 extra bedrooms, followed by Vermont with 630 and North Dakota with 496.
  • According to LendingTree's chief consumer finance analyst Matt Schulz, families in areas with high housing costs "may be making real sacrifices to afford homeownership," while also suggesting flexibility and relocation to areas with lower housing costs as strategies to avoid overcrowding.
  • Overcrowding affects 19.1 million people across the United States, with California having the highest percentage of its population living in overcrowded homes at 12.9%, followed by Hawaii at 11.5% and New York at 9.7%, while Vermont has the lowest at 2.4%.
