Outdoors grade

How much outdoors does Eden Isle have?

On conserved land, trails, park land and how close residents live to a park, Eden Isle is ahead of 13% of U.S. towns, #132 of 162 in Louisiana. Trail miles hold the grade up; the share of residents near a park pulls it down.

Louisiana towns of 2,500+ (162)Ahead of 19%

Few Louisiana towns conserve much land (a typical one, 1%; the U.S., 4%), so Eden Isle’s under 1% is ahead of 5% of Louisiana towns, while its trails per square mile lead 96% of them.

Water is 39% of Eden Isle’s area (2 of 5 square miles), so every share here is of land; over land and water together, the conserved share would read under 1%.

NoteFew parks or trails are mapped in Eden Isle. 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.
