How much outdoors does Wyoming have?
On conserved land, trails, park land and how close residents live to a park, Wyoming is ahead of 88% of U.S. towns. All four inputs are above most U.S. towns; the share of residents near a park ranks highest, trail miles lowest.
Delaware towns conserve more land than most (a typical one, 13%; the U.S., 4%), so Wyoming’s 12% is ahead of 43% of Delaware towns, while its trails per square mile lead 62% of them.
