Indiana towns of 2,500+ (593)Ahead of 62%
Few Indiana towns conserve much land (a typical one, 2%; the U.S., 4%), so Fall Creek Township’s 4% is ahead of 72% of Indiana towns, while its trails per square mile lead 80% of them.
Water is 6% of Fall Creek Township’s area (2 of 36 square miles), so every share here is of land; over land and water together, the conserved share would read 4%.
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.
