U.S. Citizens Are Protecting Twice as Much Land as the National Parks
New census data from 2015 show that 58 million acres of American land are being protected by conservation easements.
New data says that American homes have bounced back in value following the devastating housing market crash of 2006.
The total value of the U.S. housing stock grew to a record-high $29.6 trillion in 2016, according to new analysis. The housing market saw a strong year of appreciation, growing 5.7 percent in value, or $1.6 trillion.
The cumulative value of all homes in the U.S. had declined by $6.4 trillion beginning in 2006 as the housing market collapsed.
The real estate website Zillow reports that Los Angeles and New York metros hold the highest shares of the country's overall housing value, at 8.6% and 8%, respectively.
The next most valuable metro is San Francisco, worth 4.2% of the overall housing value.
