How much outdoors does Ewa Gentry have?

All U.S. towns we grade (21,298)Ahead of 66%
LessMore
Hawaii towns of 2,500+ (93)Ahead of 50%

Hawaii towns conserve more land than most (a typical one, 14%; the U.S., 4%), so Ewa Gentry’s 8% is ahead of 38% of Hawaii towns, while its trails per square mile lead 37% 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.
