Outdoors grade

How much outdoors does Pembroke Park have?

On conserved land, trails, park land and how close residents live to a park, Pembroke Park is ahead of 64% of U.S. towns, #206 of 638 in Florida. The share of residents near a park holds the grade up; park acres per resident pull it down.

Water is 14% of Pembroke Park’s area (0 of 2 square miles), so every share here is of land; over land and water together, the conserved share would read 3%.

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.
