What kind of outdoors town is Mulberry?

Read from the map. The page puts what stands out first.

Outdoors grade

How much outdoors does Mulberry have?

On conserved land, trails, park land and how close residents live to a park, Mulberry is ahead of 76% of U.S. towns, #21 of 264 in Georgia. Conserved land holds the grade up; the share of residents near a park pulls it down.

A−
OutdoorsA character grade: shown, never part of Mulberry’s overall grade.
All U.S. towns we grade (21,298)Ahead of 76%
LessMore
Georgia towns of 2,500+ (264)Ahead of 92%

Few Georgia towns conserve much land (a typical one, 2%; the U.S., 4%), so Mulberry’s 10% is ahead of 94% of Georgia towns, while its trails per square mile lead 84% of them.

How sure. Graded on any three of the four inputs instead, the letter would range from B+ to A−. 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.
