How much outdoors does Cedartown have?

On conserved land, trails, park land and how close residents live to a park, Cedartown is ahead of 18% of U.S. towns, #232 of 264 in Georgia. All four inputs are below most U.S. towns; the share of residents near a park comes closest.

All U.S. towns we grade (21,298)Ahead of 18%

Georgia towns of 2,500+ (264)Ahead of 12%

Few Georgia towns conserve much land (a typical one, 2%; the U.S., 4%), so Cedartown’s 1% is ahead of 29% of Georgia towns, while its trails per square mile lead 11% of them.

NoteFew parks or trails are mapped in Cedartown. 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 still be 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.
