Re: % of US homes with a security system?

I'm guessing less than 10% judging from my totally unscientific method
of observing the
number of yard signs or window stickers I have seen. Anyone have some
stats?

It's apparently a little better (or worse, depending on your viewpoint) than
that. Parks Associates estimated that 18% of US homes had some for form of
electronic security or home automation system installed as of 2001. Their
projections, based on studies conducted over several years indicated at that
time that by 2009 about 30% of US homes would be electronically protected.

Here's a link to their website where you can find more information on the
subject. Not having seen their full report I couldn't tell you how accurate it
might be but they are one of the more respected sources of industry data.
