SOURCES & METHOD
This guide brings together the latest relevant public figures from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the U.S. Census Bureau, and Houzz Research. The figures are presented as reported by their original publishers, with context beside each one so the number is not separated from what it measures.
The guide is reviewed regularly. When a source publishes newer data, the dated figure and its source link are updated here while each statistic anchor remains in place for reliable citation.
