Few Georgia towns conserve much land (a typical one, 2%; the U.S., 4%), so Berry College’s under 1% is ahead of 1% of Georgia towns, while its trails per square mile lead 100% of them.

NoteFew parks or trails are mapped in Berry College. 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 D− to C. 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.
