Chart of the Day: Land Owned By Government

Today’s Chart of the Day deviates from our usual financial topics and comes from the Bureau of Land Management.

The chart highlights federal land ownership (in red) compared to state-owned land (in white).

Nevada has the highest percentage of federally owned land, while Iowa has the lowest. In terms of total square miles, Alaska leads with the largest amount of federally owned land in total square miles.
