About Homesteads

A homestead is a land area unit of exactly 160 acres (approximately 64.75 hectares or 0.6475 km²) - one quarter of a one-square-mile section - established by the US Homestead Act of 1862. The Act promised 160 acres to settlers willing to farm the land for five years, transforming the American West: over 270 million acres (about 10% of the entire continental US) were granted to 1.6 million homesteaders. In the US Public Land Survey System, one homestead equals a quarter-section, with four homesteads forming one full section of 640 acres.

About Tsubo

A tsubo (坪) is the traditional Japanese unit of floor area, equal to 400/121 m² (approximately 3.306 m²) - defined as the footprint of two tatami mats placed side by side. It has been the standard for measuring rooms and apartments in Japan for centuries and remains widely used in real estate and architecture today. Apartment sizes in Japan are routinely quoted in tsubo alongside square meters. One tsubo equals approximately 35.58 square feet or 3.95 square yards.
