How much outdoors does Comer have?
On conserved land, trails, park land and how close residents live to a park, Comer is ahead of 15% of U.S. towns. All four inputs are below most U.S. towns; the share of residents near a park comes closest.
Few Georgia towns conserve much land (a typical one, 2%; the U.S., 4%), so Comer’s 1% is ahead of 18% of Georgia towns, while its trails per square mile lead 5% of them.
