What kind of outdoors town is Ojus?

Outdoors grade

How much outdoors does Ojus have?

On conserved land, trails, park land and how close residents live to a park, Ojus is ahead of 69% of U.S. towns, #178 of 638 in Florida. Trail miles hold the grade up; park acres per resident pull it down.

Water is 16% of Ojus’ area (1 of 3 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.
