What kind of outdoors town is Page?

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

Outdoors grade

How much outdoors does Page have?

On conserved land, trails, park land and how close residents live to a park, Page is among the top 1% of U.S. towns, #1 of 140 in Arizona. All four inputs are above most U.S. towns; conserved land ranks highest, the share of residents near a park lowest.

A+
OutdoorsA character grade: shown, never part of Page’s overall grade.
All U.S. towns we grade (21,298)Among the top 1%
LessMore
Arizona towns of 2,500+ (140)#1 of 140

Arizona towns conserve more land than most (a typical one, 14%; the U.S., 4%), so Page’s 57% is ahead of 90% of Arizona towns, while its trails per square mile lead 91% of them.

How sure. Graded on any three of the four inputs instead, the letter would still be A+. 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.
