How many New Yorkers fulfilled the classic American dream of a suburban house with a white picket fence, multiple cars in the driveway, and plenty of backyard space for activities?

Well, it probably won't come as a surprise that this dream isn't the typical New Yorkers' dream. Instead of a multiple-floored house with a back patio, all we really want is a walk-up that's less than four floors up.

This new infographic by the Washington Post shows us just how insane our lifestyles are compared to the rest of the country, confirming what we already suspected. 

Namely, that almost half of New Yorkers live in a building with 20 or more housing units. Obviously, we're the city in which the most people live in a building with 20 or more units.

Only 10% of New York City's residents live in a single detached unit. Which is pretty obvious, but seems even crazier when held up against the fact that almost 70% of Detroit's residents are living in single detached units.

The chart is based on 2014 American Community Survey data on the characteristics of occupied housing.
