How much outdoors does Redan have?

Georgia towns of 2,500+ (264)Ahead of 28%

Few Georgia towns conserve much land (a typical one, 2%; the U.S., 4%), so Redan’s 6% is ahead of 86% of Georgia towns, while its trails per square mile lead 4% of them.

NoteFew parks or trails are mapped in Redan. OpenStreetMap is mapped by volunteers and coverage varies from town to town, so a town with unmapped parks scores low on them.
How sure. Graded on any three of the four inputs instead, the letter would range from C− to C+. 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.
