In some states a backyard pool is a bit more of a necessity. If you live in a landlocked state that has warmer-than-average temperatures, for example, you're probably more likely to have a pool in the backyard... or if you're Florida. Have you ever noticed while flying into Orlando that it looks like literally everyone has a backyard pool?
Angi did the calculating and determined which states have the most pools. They ranked the states strictly on the # of residential pools there are within the state, therefore larger more-populated states have a distinct advantage. With all of this in mind I'm pretty surprised that Massachusetts makes the Top 10. We're not the largest... and we're lucky to have plenty of coastline and beaches, but we still made the list!!
So don those floaties and let's look at the 10 states that have the most backyard pools and see how we stack up! I'll also give you the # of residents per pool for each state to give a little perspective when taking populations into account.
And if beaches are more you're thing, did you know that Massachusetts a beach that was named one of the best NUDE beaches in the entire country? Check that out here.
