How much outdoors does Dutch Island have?
On conserved land, trails, park land and how close residents live to a park, Dutch Island is ahead of 13% of U.S. towns. Trail miles hold the grade up; the share of residents near a park pulls it down.
Few Georgia towns conserve much land (a typical one, 2%; the U.S., 4%), so Dutch Island’s under 1% is ahead of 1% of Georgia towns, while its trails per square mile lead 93% of them.
Water is 20% of Dutch Island’s area (1 of 3 square miles), so every share here is of land; over land and water together, the conserved share would read under 1%.
