Where are vacation homes located in the US?
As of 2023, the US has around 142.3 million housing units: roughly one home for every 2.4 people in the country.
At a high level, vacation homes are common in a few geographic regions: New England (Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont), the upper Midwest (Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan), the Southeast (Florida, the Carolinas), and the Western states between the Great Plains and the West Coast (Wyoming, Idaho, Utah, Arizona). The southern Appalachians, for instance, have large numbers of vacation homes in places like Blue Ridge, Georgia, Gatlinburg, Tennessee, and Black Mountain, North Carolina. The big exception to this trend, the rise of Florida as a vacation destination (and the South more generally), can be thought of as resulting from a change that did occur in geographic amenities, in the form of air conditioning making the climate much more tolerable.
