Outdoors grade

How much outdoors does Hebron have?

On conserved land, trails, park land and how close residents live to a park, Hebron is ahead of 31% of U.S. towns, #329 of 593 in Indiana. The share of residents near a park holds the grade up; park acres per resident pull it down.

Indiana towns of 2,500+ (593)Ahead of 45%

Few Indiana towns conserve much land (a typical one, 2%; the U.S., 4%), so Hebron’s under 1% is ahead of 28% of Indiana towns, while its trails per square mile lead 32% of them.

NoteFew parks or trails are mapped in Hebron. OpenStreetMap is mapped by volunteers and coverage varies from town to town, so a town with unmapped parks scores low on them.
How sure. Graded on any three of the four inputs instead, the letter would range from D to C+. 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.
