Outdoors grade

How much outdoors does Tamiami have?

On conserved land, trails, park land and how close residents live to a park, Tamiami is ahead of 34% of U.S. towns, #433 of 638 in Florida. The share of residents near a park holds the grade up; park acres per resident pull it down.

Water is 5% of Tamiami’s area (0 of 7 square miles), so every share here is of land; over land and water together, the conserved share would read 1%.

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