How much outdoors does Arabi have?
On conserved land, trails, park land and how close residents live to a park, Arabi is ahead of 8% of U.S. towns, #146 of 162 in Louisiana. All four inputs are below most U.S. towns; trail miles come closest.
Few Louisiana towns conserve much land (a typical one, 1%; the U.S., 4%), so Arabi’s under 1% is ahead of 5% of Louisiana towns, while its trails per square mile lead 45% of them.
Water is 14% of Arabi’s area (0 of 2 square miles), so every share here is of land; over land and water together, the conserved share would read under 1%.
