Georgia towns of 2,500+ (264)Ahead of 77%
Few Georgia towns conserve much land (a typical one, 2%; the U.S., 4%), so Lilburn’s 4% is ahead of 71% of Georgia towns, while its trails per square mile lead 61% of them.
How sure. Graded on any three of the four inputs instead, the letter would still be 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.
