Outdoors grade

How much outdoors does Camilla have?

On conserved land, trails, park land and how close residents live to a park, Camilla is ahead of 49% of U.S. towns, #94 of 264 in Georgia. Trail miles hold the grade up; conserved land pulls it down.

Georgia towns of 2,500+ (264)Ahead of 65%

Few Georgia towns conserve much land (a typical one, 2%; the U.S., 4%), so Camilla’s 1% is ahead of 26% of Georgia towns, while its trails per square mile lead 81% of them.

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.
