What kind of outdoors town is Stamps?

Read from the map. The page puts what stands out first.

How much outdoors does Stamps have?

On conserved land, trails, park land and how close residents live to a park, Stamps is ahead of 4% of U.S. towns. All four inputs are below most U.S. towns; trail miles come closest.

Few Arkansas towns conserve much land (a typical one, 1%; the U.S., 4%), so Stamps’ under 1% is ahead of 8% of Arkansas towns, while its trails per square mile lead 24% of them.

NoteFew parks or trails are mapped in Stamps. 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 range from D− to D. 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.

Questions about parks and trails in Stamps

How much of Stamps is conserved land?

under 1% of its land, against a typical 1% for an Arkansas town and 4% nationally (PAD-US). Conserved doesn’t always mean open to visitors: easements are usually private land.

Is there public land near Stamps?

2,232 acres of parks and open public land lie inside Stamps or within 10 miles of it (PAD-US), almost none of it inside the city line.

How much outdoors does Stamps have?

Ahead of 4% of U.S. towns on the Outdoors grade. The grade combines the share of land that is conserved, miles of mapped trail per square mile of land, park acres per 1,000 residents and the share of residents within a half mile of a park. It’s a character grade, so it isn’t part of the overall grade. How it works.
