HEY I was just looking for this the other day!!!!

Was having heated discussion about how much of the land you drive by that isn't a state or federal park but is, say, empty fields or unused or deserted/demolished properties...how much of it is privately owned?

State and Nat't parks and Indian reservations and whatever else qualifies as federal land, that's one thing. But just normal lots that aren't those things...does anyone know about ownership stats? I can't figure out how to find out in a general kind of way.

I'm not much of a real estate person, Laurel, but the best thing I can think of is to look at zoning maps for individual districts/towns/counties. in the US you can usually find them on county websites, and the helpful ones will break it down as military, , state-owned, town-owned, conservation land, etc. on a micro level. a lot of unused land is privately owned but designated by the government as open space, meaning that for aesthetic or environmental reasons, the landowner isn't allowed to build on it. but a lot of government land (like state parks) is also considered open space, and I don't know where you'd find statistics on public vs. private open space.

Cool there's two Arkansans on there, but I don't get why they stuck Johnny Cash on Tennessee because he "began his recording career and lived in Memphis," when the same description would match Al Green. Or Elvis.
