How much outdoors does Enterprise have?

On conserved land, trails, park land and how close residents live to a park, Enterprise is ahead of 19% of U.S. towns, #124 of 187 in Alabama. All four inputs are below most U.S. towns; park acres per resident come closest.

All U.S. towns we grade (21,298)Ahead of 19%
LessMore
Alabama towns of 2,500+ (187)Ahead of 34%

Few Alabama towns conserve much land (a typical one, 1%; the U.S., 4%), so Enterprise’s 1% is ahead of 43% of Alabama towns, while its trails per square mile lead 30% of them.

NoteFew parks or trails are mapped in Enterprise. OpenStreetMap is mapped by volunteers and coverage varies from town to town, so a town with unmapped parks scores low on them.
How sure. Graded on any three of the four inputs instead, the letter would still be C−. Trails and many small parks come from OpenStreetMap, mapped by volunteers, so coverage varies from town to town; the half mile is a straight line from each census block, so a river or highway in the way isn’t counted against it.
