How much outdoors does Maili have?
On conserved land, trails, park land and how close residents live to a park, Maili is ahead of 77% of U.S. towns, #27 of 93 in Hawaii. The share of residents near a park holds the grade up; park acres per resident pull it down.
Hawaii towns conserve more land than most (a typical one, 14%; the U.S., 4%), so Maili’s 11% is ahead of 42% of Hawaii towns, while its trails per square mile lead 51% of them.
Water is 39% of Maili’s area (1 of 3 square miles), so every share here is of land; over land and water together, the conserved share would read 7%.
