Outdoors grade

How much outdoors does Kellogg have?

On conserved land, trails, park land and how close residents live to a park, Kellogg is ahead of 85% of U.S. towns. Trail miles hold the grade up; conserved land pulls it down.

A−
OutdoorsA character grade: shown, never part of Kellogg’s overall grade.
All U.S. towns we grade (21,298)Ahead of 85%
LessMore

Few Idaho towns conserve much land (a typical one, 2%; the U.S., 4%), so Kellogg’s 2% is ahead of 42% of Idaho towns, while its trails per square mile lead 98% 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.
