Time spent out of the house has been falling since 2003 Chart shows that there was a gradual but not constant decline from 2003 to 2020. In 2020, there was a steep drop-off in minutes per day spent outside the home due to the COVID- 19 pandemic. There's only been a slight recovery since then, and Americans spent nearly 1.5 hours less outside their homes in 2023 than they did in 2003.
