Description	Despite their relevance to human health and well?being, we know relatively little about the arthropods that exist in our homes and the factors structuring their diversity. Settled dust samples were collected by citizen scientists from both inside and outside more than 700 homes across the United States, yielding the first continental?scale estimates of arthropod diversity associated with our residences.
