Outdoors grade

How much outdoors does Logansport have?

On conserved land, trails, park land and how close residents live to a park, Logansport is ahead of 80% of U.S. towns, #41 of 593 in Indiana. The share of residents near a park holds the grade up; conserved land pulls it down.

All U.S. towns we grade (21,298)Ahead of 80%

Indiana towns of 2,500+ (593)Ahead of 93%

Few Indiana towns conserve much land (a typical one, 2%; the U.S., 4%), so Logansport’s 3% is ahead of 65% of Indiana towns, while its trails per square mile lead 92% 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.
