Top toilet cities, one Florida metro ranks as commode kingpin | Real Time

West Palm Beach is tops in number of toilets per person. The number of bathrooms is important in deciding on home choices in this market. More seems to be better. Interestingly, Miami ranks last due to the number of condominium units built in the 60s and 70s with less bathrooms. Click title for link.

Multiple bathrooms are always a boon when trying to sell a home, so the Seattle-based real estate firm Redfin took a look at what cities have the most toilets per capita.
West Palm Beach is the only Florida metro to make the top ten list, ranking seventh with 1.25 million toilets, or 93 toilets per 100 people.

Miami, for example, ranked last on Redfin’s list with just 62 toilets per 100 people. Redfin agent Bohdan Mastykaz said Miami’s aging condominiums are to blame for its poor showing.
“A lot of our condo stock was built in the 1960s and 1970s _ and with fewer bathrooms than you’d have today,” he said. “The idea was to build for empty-nesters looking to downsize.”
