How Many Basketball Hoops are in Your Neighborhood?

[SoberasHotRod]

One of the first things I noticed when I moved to Indiana is how many houses have basketball hoops. For example, in my culdesac, there 6 out of 9 houses that have basketball standards. I think the only place I've lived that is close to this is Utah. Growing up in West Jordan Utah, there were about 8 of 20 houses on my street that had basketball hoops (from memory). I would love to get more data on this topic.

So please comment with:

City, State (or country), how many basketball hoops are in your neighborhood, out of how many houses

Thanks in Advance!

I think in Indiana it's just standard on every new house. And if you don't want one that conversation is like Marge Simpson asking the guy in Australia for coffee instead of beer.

Marge: coffee
Bartender: beer it is
Marge: no, coffee
Bartender: beer?
Marge: coff-fee
Bartender: bee-eer?

Same thing if you tell them you don't want a hoop on your house in Indiana.

That said my new neighborhood, meaning basically the 8 or 10 hours nearest our house since we live on a long straight street, has maybe 4 hoops, including mine.

Utah has an indoor court every four blocks, many of which doors pop open with a hard pull (power of the priesthood I expect). I lived in Indiana (would not go back). Was much easier to find good runs in Utah.

I live on 13 acres in WA, so not a lot of neighbors. At least two neighbors on my street and I all have indoor courts. I see multiple homes with outdoor full sport courts. A friend I play ball with regularly has an outdoor sport court. And many of his neighbors have hoops. My last 'hood in WA had HOA restrictions, but people still had hoops set out all over risking fines.

I'm just outside Salem, Oregon. I know there's 1 in front of of a house here, and I think there's another in the alley behind the houses. That's on a street of about 20 townhouses. I think the connecting streets with single family homes probably have more, because they have more space, but I honestly haven't noticed.

My block in Kearns is about 5% I would guess.
