Water is 15% of Quail Ridge’s area (1 of 5 square miles), so every share here is of land; over land and water together, the conserved share would read 10%.
NoteFew parks or trails are mapped in Quail Ridge. OpenStreetMap is mapped by volunteers and coverage varies from town to town, so a town with unmapped parks scores low on them.
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.
