    Quoted from The_Director:

    In the Mr. Pinball Price Guide, there's an interesting figure: 1 in 100 homes in in the US have a pinball machine in them. I read the entire guide, back to front, because I'm obsessed and saw this factoid in there. I thought that was a pretty surprising amount actually. Growing up, I never knew anyone with a pinball machine in their house, but by those numbers, that would mean almost one house out of any large neighborhood would have at least one in it.

    That's a really good estimate in my experience. I work for FedEx and I know of at least one house in almost every neighborhood on my route that has or has had at least one pinball machine. The population of both cities on my route is about 30,000 combined.
