San Francisco came in 4th place behind Seattle, Boston, and Minneapolis.
Wilderness Times, a popular site among campers and hikers, evaluated 25 US cities based on how accommodating they are for residents seeking an outdoorsy lifestyle. They evaluated data including housing prices, nearby parks, weather, air quality, and more. The results are in, and San Francisco has ranked #4 on their list.
SF stood out in many of the categories. The city achieved a perfect score of 100% for residents living within 10 minutes of a local park. It also achieved 254 days with good air quality per year (as compared to Los Angeles’ 66) and a decent climate score of 7.85.
What knocked San Francisco down a couple places was its exorbitant median house price ($1,385,625) and high population density (18,951 per square mile). We know, we know… shocker.
