How much outdoors does Ivey have?

Few Georgia towns conserve much land (a typical one, 2%; the U.S., 4%), so Ivey’s under 1% is ahead of 1% of Georgia towns, while its trails per square mile lead 48% of them.
Water is 14% of Ivey’s area (0 of 3 square miles), so every share here is of land; over land and water together, the conserved share would read under 1%.
