Arkansas towns of 2,500+ (123)Ahead of 86%
Few Arkansas towns conserve much land (a typical one, 1%; the U.S., 4%), so Crossett’s 2% is ahead of 84% of Arkansas towns, while its trails per square mile lead 37% of them.
How sure. Graded on any three of the four inputs instead, the letter would range from C+ to B. 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.
