Among the 400 U.S. cities of 100,000 or more, Miramar ranks #255 on Outdoors.
Water is 7% of Miramar’s area (2 of 31 square miles), so every share here is of land; over land and water together, the conserved share would read 21%.
Park acres per resident are where Miramar trails most U.S. towns: 5.1 per 1,000 against 12.6 typical, since 142,570 people share 712 acres.
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.
