The 151M Buildings for the US is a bit of a surprise for me.

I found it interesting the disparity between the number of buildings in India and the rest of the world (3 times the next country). And the close parity in number between China and the US.

From what I've seen in news reports, China has built a lot of tower blocks that are 10s of floors, rather than the 4-5-floor buildings I saw when I worked in and travelled around India.

India has ~4x the population of the US so the ratio of buildings isn't much of a surprise.
