Outdoors grade

How much outdoors does Gravette have?

On conserved land, trails, park land and how close residents live to a park, Gravette is ahead of 33% of U.S. towns, #59 of 123 in Arkansas. Park acres per resident hold the grade up; conserved land pulls it down.

C

All U.S. towns we grade (21,298)Ahead of 33%
LessMore
Arkansas towns of 2,500+ (123)Ahead of 52%

Few Arkansas towns conserve much land (a typical one, 1%; the U.S., 4%), so Gravette’s under 1% is ahead of 7% of Arkansas towns, while its trails per square mile lead 60% 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.
