What percentage of land in the United States is developed (both including & excluding Alaska)?

Similar questions: percentage land United States developed including excluding Alaska.

Depends what you mean by "developed. " About 6% is buildings/road/etc Here's a 2003 chart: The most recent data I could find was from 2003, but here's what I've got for you: The United States has 1.93 billion acres of land. 108.1 million acres of that land is "developed" land, which is up about 3 million acres from 2001 numbers.

That doesn't count farm land, pasture land, and a few other things, which use WAY more than 6%. Alaska has 600 million acres of land and is VERY sparsely populated and rather not farmed, so you're right to worry that it throws off the statistics. Unfortunately I couldn't find good numbers for alaska, but it has roughly one citizen per mile.In contrast, 22% or so of Massachusetts is developed land.

This federal report- "Major Uses of Land in the United States, 2002" will help The report is hereMajor Uses of Land in the United States, 2002ers.usda.gov/publications/eib14/This report is helpful as well-nrcs.usda.gov/Technical/land/nri02/nri02... "developed" is often tricky-The National Resources Inventory (NRI) is an alternative source for esti-mates of urban and rural residential areas. The NRI uses a consistent defini-tion for urban and built-up areas, although it differs from the definitionused by the Census Bureau. According to the NRI, developed land totaled106 million acres in 2001, including 22 million acres in rural transportationuses and 84.3 million acres in small and large urban and built-up areas.

TheMLU estimates for 2002 are 60 million urban acres, with 27 million acres intransportation areas (highways/roads, railroads, and airports) and 94 millionacres in rural residential uses. NRI’s estimate of built-up areas exceeds the Census urban area estimate, asNRI’s classification includes some rural housing tracts (typically over 10acres) and some developed land used for nonhousing purposes in rural areas(not included in MLU’s rural residential category). On net, NRI’s built-upclassification excludes more land than it includes relative to the sum of theCensus urban plus rural residential categories.

Here's a start... The USGS does this kind of thing, and has an estimate in 2000 for the eastern US (nearly 11%): edc2.usgs.gov/LT/LCCEUS.php The USDA looks at the rates that prime farm land is being converted to development between 1992 and 1997: nrcs.usda.gov/TECHNICAL/land/meta/t5853.... If you go to NASA, you can download land use data, if you want to do your own analysis: data.giss.nasa.gov/landuse/ You can go to the EPA for land cover data: epa.gov/OWOW/watershed/landcover/index.html Of course, all this depends on how you define "developed. " But if you look at the data, you can decide how you want to define your question, and then get an answer. You can google this if you want.
