LEED-certified office area as share of overall office area in the U.S. 2022, by city

The number of LEED certifications in California was almost three times higher than in Texas, the next state in the ranking. This might not be surprising for some, as the Golden State is also the most populous U.S. state. Nevertheless, some differences are still observed: Florida, for instance, has more residents than New York but fewer LEED certifications. Meanwhile, the District of Columbia was the U.S. territory with the highest number of certifications per capita. Note that the figures provided are cumulative - meaning that the state of Washington had 1,500 LEED certifications as of October 2022, a figure that also includes buildings constructed several years ago.
