Abstract
⺠We evaluate growth of residential space and impervious surface from 1945 to 2005. ⺠The average size of a new residential parcel has increased dramatically since 1945. ⺠Large residential lots have much smaller impervious surface ratios than small lots. ⺠Within a size class, impervious surface ratio may vary by 100% through time. ⺠Land-use characteristics are not a good indicator of impervious surface.
