Calling All American Lovers of Statistics (!)

There's also data that suggests you could fit the entire world population in Texas and they'd have 1.000 square feet per person. Poor Texas!
Well, houses for sale are often vacant. This house is currently vacant. Should homeless people roll on in?
LOVE that house!!!!!!!!
Where is it??????
I took the definition of 'vacant' to mean houses that are not lived in and not for sale - often derelict, as is the case in the UK. There is such a shortage of housing here that most local councils have a unit dedicated to finding ways of getting the legal owners to at least rent them in exchange for funds for refurbishment.
It beggars belief that there are thousands of properties, derelict, just left to rot, in the UK and I wondered if a similar situation existed in the US. It is not my suggestion that homeless people should 'roll on in' but the term was used in the poster as a point of reference.

Well said.
Do you have a link to it?
To paraphrase Ayn Rand, "Where is John Gault?"
As an update to this, I just learned through a BBC programme on another subject that there are, wait for it, 4,500 derelict & unoccupied houses in the borough of Portsmouth alone.
That is an astonishing and quite disgraceful figure if one considers this to be a depressed area following the winding down if the Naval Dockyards.
Perhaps if you multiply this figure by the number of cities in the
UK you can begin to imagine the bigger picture, bearing in mind these properties are all owned by somebody.
