The Largest House in Each State in the United States
The largest privately-owned residential compounds in America
As wealth inequality continues to grow in the United States, there are more Ultra-high net-worth individuals (UHNWI) than ever before. This surge in wealth can be seen in many ways throughout society, but it is most prominently displayed through the massive homes being built across the United States.
This article uncovers the largest homes in the United States. More interestingly, it focuses on the largest home in each of the states.
Unlike many other lists, this article will focus exclusively on the largest privately owned, residential homes across America. Most lists emphasize the largest homes in America as a whole; almost none look for the largest home in each state.
Determining the largest home in each state was no easy task. I had to comb through lots of state specific tax data. It is possible I have missed homes, since the data is so decentralized, and different municipalities calculate square footage uniquely. That said, I believe this list is accurate and up to date.
The homes were picked based on total indoor square footage that was heated or air conditioned. Finished basement space was also included in the calculation.
