Outdoor Recreation Satellite Account, U.S. and States, 2023
New Statistics for 2023; Updates for 2012–2022
The U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis released statistics today measuring the outdoor recreation
economy for the nation, all 50 states, and the District of Columbia. The new U.S. data show that the
value added of the outdoor recreation economy accounted for 2.3 percent ($639.5 billion) of currentdollar gross domestic product (GDP) for the nation in 2023 (national table 2). At the state level, value
added for outdoor recreation as a share of state GDP ranged from 6.3 percent in Hawaii to 1.6 percent
in Delaware, Connecticut, and New York. The share was 0.8 percent in the District of Columbia (state
table 1).

Inflation-adjusted (“real”) GDP for the outdoor recreation economy increased 3.6 percent in 2023,
compared with a 2.9 percent increase for the overall U.S. economy, reflecting a deceleration from the
increase in outdoor recreation of 10.2 percent in 2022 (chart 1 and national table 1). Real gross output
for the outdoor recreation economy increased 3.2 percent, while outdoor recreation compensation
increased 9.0 percent, and employment increased 3.3 percent (national table 9).

Employment

Across all 50 states and the District of Columbia, outdoor recreation employment increased in 49 states
and the District of Columbia in 2023, ranging from 7.5 percent in Alaska to −4.8 percent in Indiana. The
percentage change was 3.8 percent in the District of Columbia (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 2023, conventional outdoor recreation accounted for 31.4 percent of U.S. outdoor recreation value
added, compared with 32.7 percent in 2022 (chart 2). “Other outdoor recreation” accounted for 20.1
percent of value added in 2023, compared with 19.7 percent in 2022. Supporting activities accounted
for the remaining 48.5 percent of value added in 2023, compared with 47.6 percent in 2022. Growth in
supporting activities was led by travel and tourism, reflecting growth in spending on transportation,
hotels, and restaurants (national table 4).

Additional highlights for value added by activity for 2023 are as follows (chart 3 and state table 2):
•

•

Boating/fishing was the largest conventional activity for the nation at $36.8 billion in currentdollar value added and was the largest conventional activity in 34 states and the District of

Hunting/shooting/trapping was the third-largest conventional activity for the nation at $14.0
billion in current-dollar value added and was the largest conventional activity in Wyoming. The
states with the largest contributions were Texas ($1.7 billion), California ($705.3 million), and
Florida ($676.9 million).
Snow activities for the nation was $7.7 billion in current-dollar value added and was the largest
conventional activity in three states (Colorado, Utah, and Vermont.) The states with the largest

Outdoor recreation by industry
The outdoor recreation by industry data show the contributions of industries to the outdoor recreation
economy, including their impact on value added, gross output, employment, and compensation.
For the nation, the arts, entertainment, recreation, accommodation, and food services industry group
was the largest contributor to U.S. outdoor recreation current-dollar value added in 2023, accounting
for $165.2 billion, or 25.8 percent (chart 4). At the state level, arts, entertainment, recreation,
accommodation, and food services was the largest contributor to outdoor recreation value added in 20
states and the District of Columbia. The states with the largest contributions were California ($22.7
billion), Florida ($21.2 billion), and New York ($11.6 billion) (state table 3).
Retail trade was the second-largest industry group for the nation, at $156.3 billion or 24.4 percent of
value added, and was the largest industry group in 26 states. The states with the largest contributions
were California ($17.6 billion), Texas ($13.9 billion), and Florida ($12.2 billion).
Manufacturing was the third-largest industry group for the nation, at $86.7 billion or 13.6 percent of
value added, and was the largest industry group in two states (Indiana and Louisiana). The states with
the largest contributions were Texas ($12.9 billion), California ($11.8 billion), and Indiana ($8.1 billion).

source data. The state statistics now reflect these updated national data as well as the 2024 annual
update of the Regional Economic Accounts and newly available and revised regional source data.
Estimates for 2012 to 2016 now incorporate results of the 2023 comprehensive update. Previously
published estimates are available on BEA’s archive page.

Details on the preparation of BEA’s national
statistics are in NIPA Handbook: Concepts and
Methods of the U.S. National Income and Product
Accounts.
For complete information on the sources and
methods used to estimate gross domestic
product and personal income by state, see BEA’s
gross domestic product by state and state
personal
income
and
employment
methodologies.

Definitions
Gross domestic product (GDP) or value added is the value
of the goods and services produced by the nation’s
economy less the value of the goods and services used up
in production. GDP is also equal to the sum of personal
consumption expenditures, gross private domestic
investment, net exports of goods and services, and
government consumption expenditures and gross
investment.
Gross output is the value of the goods and services
produced by the nation’s economy. It is principally
measured using industry sales or receipts, including sales to
final users (GDP) and sales to other industries.
Current-dollar estimates are valued in the prices of the
period when the transactions occurred—that is, at “market
value.” Also referred to as “nominal estimates” or as
“current-price estimates.”

Chained-dollar estimates are calculated by taking the
current-dollar level of a series in the base period and
multiplying it by the change in the chained-type quantity
index number for the series since the base period. Chaineddollar estimates correctly show growth rates for a series but
are not additive in periods other than the base period.
ORSA employment consists of all full-time, part-time, and
temporary wage‐and‐salary jobs in which the workers are
engaged in the production of outdoor recreation goods and
services. Self-employed individuals are excluded from
employment totals.
ORSA compensation consists of the pay to employees
(including wages and salaries and benefits such as employer
contributions to pension and health funds) in return for
their outdoor recreation-related work during a given year.
Pay to the self-employed is excluded from compensation
but included in value added.
ORSA value added (also referred to as GDP) consists of the
value of outdoor recreation goods and services produced
less the value of expenses incurred for their production. The
activity of self-employed individuals is included in value
added.

Geography of outdoor recreation
Outdoor recreation is measured by place of production, not
residence of consumer. The value of manufactured goods,
such as boats, is assigned to the state where they are
produced, even if the goods are not ultimately used there.
Services, such as sailing lessons, are assigned to the location
where they are consumed. The value of services provided
by retailers, such as boat dealers, is also assigned to the
location of sale. The services of retailers (known as trade
margins) are not measured by sales but are most akin to
sales less the cost of goods sold. The production of
imported goods is excluded from ORSA, but the value of the
services of retailers selling the imported goods is included.
Outdoor recreation spending and production are allocated
to states by applying state-level data to detailed, underlying
national values. The underlying estimates are distributed to
states before aggregation to publication levels to provide
the most accurate state values possible. Statistics are
primarily based on time-series data generated from the
Economic Census and Quarterly Census of Employment and
Wages. Additional government and nongovernment data
sources are used to supplement the census data and to
refine and evaluate the statistics.
