Percentage of places with old buildings and a lack of modern construction

We may be 48th in the country for education but damn it feels good to be towards the top on this one.
A new type of heat pump based washer/dryer combo unit that only requires a standard 110 outlet and no vent could significantly increase the number of washer/dryers in apartments in dense cities.
Does this count buildings that have shared laundry areas? I can’t find the original source.
It’s just a reverse correlation with states that have high density urban areas
Clothes washer sounds strange. It is washing machine unless you are counting washing boards and ringers too. I guess technically they are clothes washers.
This seems inaccurate. Does it count first nation territories as well? Because I feel New Mexico’s rate would be much lower if you included the Native American population.
Is this strictly houses or houses and apartments? I can’t even imagine buying a house that doesn’t have a laundry room
I forgot about laundromats and assumed lots of people in NY hand washed their laundry or something
What’s up gang! Welcome back to People Live In Cities, the podcast where we act shocked that urban life is different. I’m your host Zaxyzn and today we’re diving into something totally crazy: people in huge high rises … don’t have washing machines! How do they even survive? We’ll probably never find out but today’s expert has a theory. But first a word from our sponsors Squarespace and introducing Rinse, the Uber of laundry pick up and delivery!
I’m stunned at how low these figures are 97% of UK households own a washing machine.
Overlay with laundromat use and see what you get lol
How is California so low? It seems insane that so many people don’t have their own one, especially for a wealthy state.
I need to be in the washer and dryer businesse.
Is there any reason for the list on the top-right?
It has Delaware up top at 90%, but the map has over 10 more states over 90%.
Then Maryland in second at 86% when over 20 are higher.
And so on.
Seems a little random, unless I’m missing something.
