Outdoors grade

How much outdoors does Wilhoit have?

On conserved land, trails, park land and how close residents live to a park, Wilhoit is ahead of 45% of U.S. towns. Conserved land holds the grade up; the share of residents near a park pulls it down.

Arizona towns conserve more land than most (a typical one, 14%; the U.S., 4%), so Wilhoit’s 55% is ahead of 88% of Arizona towns, while its trails per square mile lead 56% 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.
