Homebuilts by State
I got asked the question "how many homebuilts are in each state?" off-list,
but thought others might like to see this data. For best insight, paste into a spreadsheet or database, then sort and plot as desired. The data is from the January 2003 FAA database, and includes only those aircraft listed as Experimental- Amateur/Built. It does not include homebuilts which do not have a definitive identification as such....which total several thousand more. Ron Wanttaja -------------------------------------------- Homebuilts by state: AK 282 AL 379 AR 242 AZ 779 CA 3063 CO 621 CT 202 DC 17 DE 260 FL 1808 GA 474 HI 61 IA 405 ID 304 IL 938 IN 557 KS 449 KY 191 LA 260 MA 218 MD 245 ME 135 MI 829 MN 581 MO 486 MS 210 MT 204 NC 512 ND 106 NE 216 NH 149 NJ 300 NM 263 NV 345 NY 643 OH 851 OK 826 OR 819 PA 627 RI 38 SC 212 SD 122 TN 402 TX 1978 UT 233 VA 388 VT 73 WA 1053 WI 779 WV 114 WY 103 |

I was curious about per capita figures so I calculated a per capita column using state population data from the 2000 US Census. The per captia figures are per 10,000 people in each state. AK 282 4.48 (experimental homebuilts per 10,000 people) DE 260 3.31 OR 819 2.39 OK 826 2.39 ID 304 2.34 MT 204 2.25 WY 103 2.08 WA 1053 1.78 NV 345 1.72 KS 449 1.67 ND 106 1.65 SD 122 1.61 AZ 779 1.52 WI 779 1.45 NM 263 1.44 CO 621 1.44 IA 405 1.38 NE 216 1.26 NH 149 1.20 VT 73 1.20 MN 581 1.18 FL 1808 1.13 ME 135 1.06 UT 233 1.04 TX 1978 0.95 IN 557 0.91 AR 242 0.90 CA 3063 0.90 MO 486 0.87 AL 379 0.85 MI 829 0.83 IL 938 0.75 OH 851 0.75 MS 210 0.74 TN 402 0.71 NC 512 0.63 WV 114 0.63 CT 202 0.59 LA 260 0.58 GA 474 0.58 VA 388 0.55 SC 212 0.53 PA 627 0.51 HI 61 0.50 KY 191 0.47 MD 245 0.46 RI 38 0.36 NJ 300 0.36 MA 218 0.34 NY 643 0.34 DC 17 0.30 I made a map of the per capita data. Dark blue for the highest per captia figure (Alaska) and very light blue for the next to lowest per capita figure (New York). DC isn't mapped. http://www.AirplaneZone.com/NewsgroupPix/USA04b.gif The map is public domain as far as I'm concerned. I'll leave it up for a few days. Of course, Delaware isn't really a hotbed of experimental homebuilding activity. It's just that some people choose to own their planes through shell corporations and Delaware is a popular state for such corporations. David O -- http://www.AirplaneZone.com |

The per captia figures are per 10,000 people in each state. Hey, cool! Thanks! I ran my database and got the breakdown between all aircraft registered per state and the homebuilts. I've appended the results (plus your numbers) to the end of this posting. The results: The state which has the highest ratio of homebuilts per aircraft registered is...Wisconsin (11.9%)! Followed by Iowa and Indiana, then Washington and Oregon. Delaware, which, as you mentioned, is a hotbed of dummy corporations for registering airplanes, actually comes out at the very bottom (2.3%). Second from the bottom is Alaska (2.7%). It's interesting that the two states to come out the highest in per-capita homebuilt ownership are the lowest when it comes to the ratio of homebuilts vs. total registered aircraft.

It's interesting that the two states to come out the highest in per- capita homebuilt ownership are the lowest when it comes to the ratio of homebuilts vs. total registered aircraft. I can't say what the deal is with Delaware, but Alaska has the largest number of pilots per capita, so it would stand to reason that we would also have the highest number of homebuilts per capita. On the other hand, the vast majority of airplanes up here work for a living and thus need to have a standard airworthiness certificate. So while there are apparently plenty of homebuilts, they are overshadowed by the number of certified planes. ---------------------------------------------------- Del Rawlins- Remove _kills_spammers_ to reply via email.

Lots of people register their planes in Delaware. It is much less common for homebuilts to be registered as corporate owned but there are enough that it spikes Delaware's numbers anyway. I'll bet that if you go to all the airports and start counting planes that the number will be [Small%] of planes registered there. |
