Was that adjusted for population size? For the US also has 6x the population, and fewer "high streets" or walkable city/town shopping districts. The US also has, in a general sense, more space to build.

It probably was. Looks like the US has 5x the retail space per capita vs the UK, all in: https://www.statista.com/statistics/1058852/retail-space-per...
