Colorado towns of 2,500+ (159)Ahead of 91%
Colorado towns conserve more land than most (a typical one, 7%; the U.S., 4%), so Stonegate’s 26% is ahead of 92% of Colorado towns, while its trails per square mile lead 88% of them.
How sure. Graded on any three of the four inputs instead, the letter would range from A to 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.
