How much outdoors does Bruno Township have?

On conserved land, trails, park land and how close residents live to a park, Bruno Township is ahead of 28% of U.S. towns, #117 of 151 in Kansas. All four inputs are below most U.S. towns; trail miles come closest.

All U.S. towns we grade (21,298)Ahead of 28%
LessMore
Kansas towns of 2,500+ (151)Ahead of 23%

Few Kansas towns conserve much land (a typical one, 2%; the U.S., 4%), so Bruno Township’s 1% is ahead of 26% of Kansas towns, while its trails per square mile lead 55% of them.

How sure. Graded on any three of the four inputs instead, the letter would range from C− 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.
