What percentage of landings happen off the airstrip? That % of landings

I think houses off the approach and departure ends are a much worse
idea. If you have such a bad wind/landing that you are going to hit my
house 110' off the center line either you are planting a really large
aircraft on 3,000' of grass or you need some serious recurrent training.

Great way to get Gulf view in a home that is several hundred feet off the
beach though.

I saw that, it just made me jealous (until I thought about hurricane
