What kind of outdoors town is North Miami Beach?

Read from the map. The page puts what stands out first.

Outdoors grade

How much outdoors does North Miami Beach have?

On conserved land, trails, park land and how close residents live to a park, North Miami Beach is ahead of 70% of U.S. towns, #168 of 638 in Florida. The share of residents near a park holds the grade up; park acres per resident pull it down.

Water is 10% of North Miami Beach’s area (1 of 5 square miles), so every share here is of land; over land and water together, the conserved share would read 7%.

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.
