How much outdoors does Victoria have?

On conserved land, trails, park land and how close residents live to a park, Victoria is ahead of 27% of U.S. towns. The share of residents near a park holds the grade up; conserved land pulls it down.

Few Kansas towns conserve much land (a typical one, 2%; the U.S., 4%), so Victoria’s under 1% is ahead of 5% of Kansas towns, while its trails per square mile lead 42% of them.

NoteFew parks or trails are mapped in Victoria. 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.

Questions about parks and trails in Victoria

How much of Victoria is conserved land?

under 1% of its land, against a typical 2% for a Kansas town and 4% nationally (PAD-US). Conserved doesn’t always mean open to visitors: easements are usually private land.

Are dogs allowed on Victoria’s trails?

Honey Braun Park doesn’t have dog rules recorded on the map; check the signs at the trailhead.

Is there public land near Victoria?

333 acres of parks and open public land lie inside Victoria or within 10 miles of it (PAD-US), 4 of them inside the city line.

How much outdoors does Victoria have?

Ahead of 27% of U.S. towns on the Outdoors grade. The grade combines the share of land that is conserved, miles of mapped trail per square mile of land, park acres per 1,000 residents and the share of residents within a half mile of a park. It’s a character grade, so it isn’t part of the overall grade. How it works.
