Exactly 1,076.3910 square feet equals 1 decare. Since 1 decare = 1,000 square meters and 1 square meter = 10.764 square feet, the conversion is straightforward: 1,000 × 10.764 = 10,764 square feet. Wait—that's incorrect. The correct calculation is 1 decare = 1,000 m² ÷ 0.092903 m²/sq ft = 10,763.9 square feet. For practical purposes, remember that 1 decare is slightly larger than 1,000 square feet (about 7.6% larger). This distinction matters significantly in property transactions where even small percentage errors translate to substantial dollar amounts.

The decare became the standard unit in Turkey, Greece, and the Balkans primarily due to historical Ottoman administrative practices and the subsequent adoption of metric measurements in these regions. The decare (1,000 m²) provided a practical size for agricultural plots and urban property parcels. When these countries modernized their cadastral (property registry) systems, they standardized on decares rather than adopting hectares or acres. This created path dependency—all historical property records, legal frameworks, and taxation systems are built on decares, making it economically impractical to change. Meanwhile, English-speaking nations and former British colonies use acres and square feet due to their colonial heritage and the strength of English common law property systems.
