How many snow shovels sold in the US last year?

Question

Paul Heintzelman · Accepted Answer

There are roughly 400 million people in the US

About 100 million people live in areas where having a snow shovel would make sense (NY and Pennsylvania are large)
  
A snow shovel likely only needs to be replaced every 10 years

100/10 = 10 million

The average home size is ~2.5

10/2.5 = 4 million homes

each home likely has about 1.5 shovels on average

4*1.5 = 6

My educated guess would be 6 million (although my intuition is this is a little high)

Well, since this is a LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT question, I suggest we re-evaluate our priorities and strike this question in lieu of a more relevant one.

Less than or equal to the number that were available for purchase

Tequila George · Answer

The same quantity as snow shovels purchased in the US last year.

Anonym · Answer

I would guess that about 20% of americans are homeowners - about 60 million people. Among them, only about 20% live a climate cold enough to warrant a snow shovel - 12 million people. Those people don't need to buy snow shovels very frequently. A good snow shovel will last you about 6 years - 2 million.

I would estimate that 2 million snow shovels are sold each year in the US.

SP · Answer

More than the year before, based on the recent weather.
