    According to my brief googling, there are 131.43 million households in America, and either 79 or 80 million American households own dishwashers. I could not find a breakdown by state, but I suspect they’re predominantly popular in wealthier areas, and less popular in poorer areas.

      Someone I know moved into an apartment with no dishwasher, and they were like “fuck this” and bought a countertop dishwasher. So apparently that’s a thing.

      I’m pretty sure it’s a space thing. How many millions of people in New York live in half a closet, where your “home” is the place where you sleep and recharge your phone, and you spend every waking second out and about in the city. You don’t have a kitchen much less a dishwasher. Meanwhile I’ve never seen a double wide mobile home without one equipped from the factory. I would be surprised to find a multi-bedroom family dwelling without a dishwasher.
