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

Outdoors grade

How much outdoors does Winslow have?

On conserved land, trails, park land and how close residents live to a park, Winslow is ahead of 60% of U.S. towns, #80 of 140 in Arizona. Conserved land holds the grade up; park acres per resident pull it down.

B
OutdoorsA character grade: shown, never part of Winslow’s overall grade.
All U.S. towns we grade (21,298)Ahead of 60%
LessMore
Arizona towns of 2,500+ (140)Ahead of 43%

Arizona towns conserve more land than most (a typical one, 14%; the U.S., 4%), so Winslow’s 13% is ahead of 47% of Arizona towns, while its trails per square mile lead 14% of them.

How sure. Graded on any three of the four inputs instead, the letter would range from B− 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.
