How much outdoors does Perry have?

On conserved land, trails, park land and how close residents live to a park, Perry is ahead of 37% of U.S. towns, #142 of 264 in Georgia. Trail miles hold the grade up; park acres per resident pull it down.

Georgia towns of 2,500+ (264)Ahead of 46%

Few Georgia towns conserve much land (a typical one, 2%; the U.S., 4%), so Perry’s 3% is ahead of 66% of Georgia towns, while its trails per square mile lead 70% 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.
