Outdoors grade

How much outdoors does Park City have?

On conserved land, trails, park land and how close residents live to a park, Park City is ahead of 37% of U.S. towns, #104 of 151 in Kansas. 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 37%
LessMore
Kansas towns of 2,500+ (151)Ahead of 31%

Few Kansas towns conserve much land (a typical one, 2%; the U.S., 4%), so Park City’s 1% is ahead of 29% of Kansas towns, while its trails per square mile lead 31% 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.
