Outdoors grade

How much outdoors does Orangetree have?

On conserved land, trails, park land and how close residents live to a park, Orangetree is ahead of 50% of U.S. towns, #315 of 638 in Florida. Trail miles hold the grade up; conserved land pulls it down.

Water is 18% of Orangetree’s area (1 of 4 square miles), so every share here is of land; over land and water together, the conserved share would read under 1%.

How sure. Graded on any three of the four inputs instead, the letter would range from C 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.
