Outdoors grade

How much outdoors does Hapeville have?

On conserved land, trails, park land and how close residents live to a park, Hapeville is ahead of 55% of U.S. towns, #65 of 264 in Georgia. The share of residents near a park holds the grade up; park acres per resident pull it down.

All U.S. towns we grade (21,298)Ahead of 55%
LessMore
Georgia towns of 2,500+ (264)Ahead of 76%

Few Georgia towns conserve much land (a typical one, 2%; the U.S., 4%), so Hapeville’s 3% is ahead of 63% of Georgia towns, while its trails per square mile lead 46% 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.
