Connecticut towns conserve more land than most (a typical one, 15%; the U.S., 4%), so Woodmont’s 4% is ahead of 3% of Connecticut towns, while its trails per square mile lead 4% of them.
Water is more than half of Woodmont’s area (1 of 1 square miles), so every share here is of land; over land and water together, the conserved share would read 1%.
How sure. Graded on any three of the four inputs instead, the letter would range from B− 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.
