When it comes to bathrooms, it appears a home just can't have enough.
And Seattle has 91 toilets for every 100 residents, which places it in the nation's top 10 cites for toilets, according to Seattle-based online residential real estate company Redfin Corp.
According to Redfin's list, Boulder, Colo. leads the nation with 102 toilets for every 100 residents.
Why are toilets important? Because they help sell houses.
"I don't know when it took place, but having a master bathroom off the main bedroom is now seen as a requirement, whereas years ago, it was considered a luxury," said an Atlanta Redfin real estate agent, in a statement.
To calculate the number of toilets in its list of 37 U.S. cities, Redfin said it "looked at the most recent household and population data from the American Community Survey, along with county recorder data on the number of toilets present in each residence."
