But, as I understand it:
   1/4 acre, typical for suburbs;

An acre is 208.7^2 feet.
My 2450 sq-ft house sits on 95×65 foot lot; 14% of acre.
With 5 foot easements on all sides.

     Much of the lot is taken up by the house itself.
     Yard is mostly superficial (*1).
   1/2 acre, slightly bigger yard
     Say, neighbor's house is like 20 feet away or something.
   1 acre
     Roughly the size of a typical used car lot or gas station.
   2 acre
     Roughly twice the area of a gas station.
     Could fit multiple houses if each had a smaller yard.
