Outdoor Recreation Economic Statistics, U.S. and States, 2024
New Statistics for 2024; Updates for 2020–2023
Today, the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis released new statistics measuring the outdoor recreation
economy for the nation, all 50 states, and the District of Columbia. The new U.S. data show the value
added of the outdoor recreation economy accounted for 2.4 percent ($696.7 billion) of current-dollar
gross domestic product (GDP) for the nation in 2024 (national table 2). Across states and the District of
Columbia, value added for outdoor recreation as a share of state GDP ranged from 6.1 percent in Hawaii
to 1.0 percent in the District of Columbia (state table 1).

Inflation-adjusted (“real”) GDP for the outdoor recreation economy increased 2.7 percent in 2024,
compared with a 2.8 percent increase for the overall U.S. economy, reflecting a deceleration from the
increase in outdoor recreation of 5.3 percent in 2023 (national table 1). Real gross output for the
outdoor recreation economy increased 2.0 percent. Outdoor recreation compensation increased 5.2
percent, and employment increased 1.1 percent (national table 9).

Employment

Outdoor recreation employment increased in 36 states and the District of Columbia in 2024. The percent
change in outdoor recreation employment ranged from 4.3 percent in North Dakota to −4.0 percent in
Hawaii (BEA interactive tables).

Outdoor recreation by activity
Outdoor recreation activities fall into three general categories: (1) conventional activities such as
bicycling, boating, hiking, and hunting; (2) other activities such as gardening and outdoor concerts; and
(3) supporting activities such as construction, travel and tourism, local trips, and government
expenditures.
In 2024, conventional outdoor recreation accounted for 29.5 percent of U.S. outdoor recreation value
added, compared with 30.0 percent in 2023. “Other outdoor recreation” accounted for 19.0 percent of
value added in 2024, compared with 18.8 percent in 2023. Supporting activities accounted for the
remaining 51.5 percent of value added in 2024, compared with 51.2 percent in 2023. Growth in
supporting activities was led by travel and tourism, reflecting growth in spending on transportation,
hotels, and restaurants (national table 4).
