Outdoors grade
How much outdoors does Hollywood have?
On conserved land, trails, park land and how close residents live to a park, Hollywood is ahead of 89% of U.S. towns, #52 of 638 in Florida. All four inputs are above most U.S. towns; trail miles rank highest, park acres per resident lowest.

Among the 400 U.S. cities of 100,000 or more, Hollywood ranks #101 on Outdoors.
Water is 11% of Hollywood’s area (4 of 31 square miles), so every share here is of land; over land and water together, the conserved share would read 12%.
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.
