That's the way to do it. Before I got married, I used to have tuna/hamburger helper quite often to stretch the grocery dollar as far as I could. Let's just say that marriage changed that a bit (for the better).

FWIW, we budget $500 on groceries for the two of us. Eating out is a bit more variable, but we consider that a bit on the entertainment side. We recently moved into our first house a few months back, and if you can nail down a cheap garage fridge/freezer, the extra space goes a long way towards freezing meat that you can buy when it's on sale.

Keep up the great work and good luck on the future housing hunt!

That's what I was thinking too! A good opportunity to use relevant colours for each sport. Eg:

Hockey = black (that got that one). Basketball = orange. Baseball = white and red Soccer = white and black Football = brown

Still, an informative graph!

Let me guess: Brazil is less than 1% because the people there speak Portuguese, not Spanish.

Similarly, the United States speaks English. I can only assume the phrase wasn’t translated.

It's not NFL only. Looks like Cleveland has 9 football titles (with 2 MLB and 1 NBA for 12 total titles)

The Cleveland Bulldogs won the NFL in 1924. The Cleveland Rams won the NFL in 1945. The Browns won the AAFC in 46, 47, 48, and 49. The Browns then won the NFL in 50, 54, 55, and 64. Unless they included the 1 Akron (1920) and 2 Canton (1922, 23) titles as Cleveland's, there are 6 NFL titles for Cleveland.

So they must have counted the Rams 1 and all 8 of the Browns championships for the 9 or NFL titles for the Rams (1), Browns (4), Cleveland Bulldogs (1), Akron Pros (1), and Canton Bulldogs (2).

Lefty pull hitters are having a field day at hundred

I just remembered this study. Not exactly related but maybe relevant https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S016517652200283X

I don’t know anyone that would consider soccer a major North American sport. It’s the big 4.

Cleveland also peaked at that time, just happened to peak higher in the 2010s.

And yet OP included MLS.

Montreal as well, they haven't won the Stanley Cup since '93 and have only had championships in hockey. At least the Toronto Raptors and FC have won championships this decade!

> Cities from suburbs and metropolitan areas, are mapped to the “main” city (e.g. Oakland to San Francisco)

Oakland: 10
San Francisco: 9

Just wanted to point that out.

TIL how hilly West Virginia is because of a baseball field

That makes sense. NHL has been declining in popularity for many years and is really only still considered part of the "big four" sports because of its history. I just saw a report that said only 6 teams in the NFL, NBA, and MLB have lower payrolls than the salary cap in the NHL. The highest paid player in the NHL makes $12.5M whereas the top players in the other three leagues make 4 times that. It's crazy how far the NHL has fallen from where it was in the '90s.

Aaron Judge broke the American League record for home runs in a season. The previous record was set by Roger Maris, who also played for the Yankees. And he claimed the record from Babe Ruth, who also played for the Yankees. The dimensions changed a little bit over time, but it just so happens that all of the relevant people for that specific record had played in really similar stadiums with a notoriously short right field fence.

Then again, when it comes to home run records, you can make a case that a dozen different people deserve the title of Home Run King based on whatever you consider to be fair.

I'm asking why you think that's the case? What's your theory as to why the data reflects that?

Maybe to google but not to me!

When I was living on my own, I was spending between $150-200/mo on groceries and eating out. I'm a simple man. 50 lb bag of rice, bulk spinach, chicken thighs, and eggs goes a long way.

You know it!

There is market for everything because otherwise no one would know how much to make or at what price to sell. Increasing house prices mean that more needs to be built to then lower prices. If more housing is illegal, then enough housing won't be built, existing houses will go up in prices, and those who can't afford them will live in cars or on the street.

If I’m reading this correctly, you’re spending around $100 per month on food between groceries and eating out. If that’s the true figure, you should make sure you incorporate growth in that area on your future expenses when you’re on your own.

Great discipline overall, and be sure to get your parents something real nice down the road :)

Didn't St Louis just win the Stanley Cup like 2 years ago?

Then quit
