Outdoors grade

How much outdoors does Clermont have?

On conserved land, trails, park land and how close residents live to a park, Clermont is ahead of 84% of U.S. towns. All four inputs are above most U.S. towns; the share of residents near a park ranks highest, conserved land lowest.

Few Indiana towns conserve much land (a typical one, 2%; the U.S., 4%), so Clermont’s 4% is ahead of 72% of Indiana towns, while its trails per square mile lead 94% 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.
