Among the 400 U.S. cities of 100,000 or more, Deltona ranks #348 on Outdoors.
Water is 9% of Deltona’s area (4 of 41 square miles), so every share here is of land; over land and water together, the conserved share would read 3%.
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.
