How the Typical American Day Has Changed in the Last 15 Years

Lawn and garden care

2017

– Average time spent on activity: 1.84 hours/day (-5.2% 15-year change)

– Population engaged in activity: 9.7% (-4.9% 15-year change)

2003

– Average time spent on activity: 1.94 hours/day

– Population engaged in activity: 10.2%

According to recent data, more people rent their homes now than at any point in the past 50 years. While many of these homes have lawns and gardens that tenants are responsible for, many don’t.

This could be the reason for the drop in time Americans spent on lawn and garden care in 2017 compared with 2003.
