Idaho towns of 2,500+ (59)Ahead of 41%
Few Idaho towns conserve much land (a typical one, 2%; the U.S., 4%), so St. Anthony’s 2% is ahead of 59% of Idaho towns, while its trails per square mile lead 28% 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.
