How much outdoors does Acworth have?
On conserved land, trails, park land and how close residents live to a park, Acworth is ahead of 72% of U.S. towns, #27 of 264 in Georgia. Conserved land holds the grade up; park acres per resident pull it down.
Few Georgia towns conserve much land (a typical one, 2%; the U.S., 4%), so Acworth’s 30% is ahead of 99% of Georgia towns, while its trails per square mile lead 59% of them.
Water is 7% of Acworth’s area (1 of 10 square miles), so every share here is of land; over land and water together, the conserved share would read 28%.
