How much outdoors does Flora have?
On conserved land, trails, park land and how close residents live to a park, Flora is ahead of 16% of U.S. towns. Park acres per resident hold the grade up; trail miles pull it down.
Few Indiana towns conserve much land (a typical one, 2%; the U.S., 4%), so Flora’s under 1% is ahead of 7% of Indiana towns, while its trails per square mile lead 6% of them.

How much outdoors does Flora have?
Ahead of 16% of U.S. towns on the Outdoors grade.

It’s a character grade, so it isn’t part of the overall grade. How it works.
