How much outdoors does Belle Isle have?

On conserved land, trails, park land and how close residents live to a park, Belle Isle is ahead of 30% of U.S. towns, #458 of 638 in Florida. The share of residents near a park holds the grade up; park acres per resident pull it down.

Water is more than half of Belle Isle’s area (3 of 5 square miles), so every share here is of land; over land and water together, the conserved share would read under 1%.

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