RVshare, the community for RV owners and renters, recently released results of a study on outdoor-friendly U.S. cities. Presented with Cairn Consulting Group, the study surveyed residents of major cities around the country on their access to recreational activities and geographic proximity, among other factors.
The top 10 most outdoor-friendly U.S. cities are:
- Seattle, Washington
- Denver, Colorado
- Grand Rapids, Michigan
- Miami, Florida
- Portland, Oregon
- Nashville, Tennessee
- San Francisco, California
- Richmond, Virginia
- Los Angeles, California
- Charlotte, North Carolina
The top 10 least outdoor-friendly U.S. cities are:
- Houston, Texas
- Rochester, New York
- Hartford, Connecticut
- Tulsa, Oklahoma
- Milwaukee, Wisconsin
- Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
- Detroit, Michigan
- Buffalo, New York
- Raleigh, North Carolina
- Fresno, California
“We dove deep into which U.S. cities’ residents find it difficult to access outdoor recreation – even when state and national parks are not too far away. Concurrently, we learned which cities are perceived to have abundant opportunities to be outside, and how those residents and visitors take advantage of their natural surroundings,” said Jon Gray, CEO, RVshare.
More than 50 large U.S. cities were analyzed. Factors considered in the ranking include days spent in nature-based spaces, membership in outdoor groups, and visits to parks and public lands. Read more about the rankings and methodology in the full report.
