In 2003:  There are 107 million U.S. households, each with an average of 1.9 cars, trucks or sport utility vehicles and 1.8 drivers, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics reported. That equals 204 million vehicles.\n\nSay the average area a vehicle takes up is 5m x 2.5m = 12.5m^2. \n\n12.5 x 204m = 2,550,000,000 sq m \n=2,550 sq km\n\nLand area in the US is 9,161,923 sq km \n\nSo 2550/9,161,923 = 0.0002783...\n= 0.028%

Simply, our love of the automobile. The average thin European and Asian eat and drink whatever they want, yet walk an average of five miles a day. We have engineered our entire society around the automobile ... suburbs,  fast food, shopping malls, interstate highways, commutes to work... it was and is a mistake.

very little.\n\nOver 65% of Americans don't know who their Senators are.\n\n85% of Americans 18-24 can't find Iraq on a map.\n\n13% of Americans 18-24 can't find NEW YORK on a map.\n\nClearly these figures don't give much promise to the average American knowing the Bill of Rights or the Constitution.

There are two ways of doing quantitative estimates to problems like "how many bricks in the Great Wall" or "how many tennis balls in the United States?".  In this case, let's use cars in a particular city. \n\n1. Top-down.  Take the population of the city.  Countries and/or states often have car ownership records, whoever is the registration authority.  In the US, you would use the State DMV, but the US Dept. of Transportation also has that.  You would then apply a ratio to the population of the city.  You would then adjust the resulting number by demographics.  Compare the cities demographics compared to the "average city" in the city/state.  For example, cities tend to have younger, richer population.  There may be other factors like the antiquated road infrastructure (e.g. Rome), extremely high cost of living/car ownership (e.g. New York City) or car taxes (e.g. Singapore).  \n\n2. Bottoms-up.  Sometimes you can collect the data manually.  Usually, this type of estimate works only were data integrity is good and available.  Also, you usually have to do a reality check against a top-down guesstimate anyways.

According to the census results and assuming the rates of growth stayed the same for the last year, we can estimate 36.5M in California and 301M in the US.\n\nThat gives us 12 percent or 1/9th of the population living in California.
