Few Louisiana towns conserve much land (a typical one, 1%; the U.S., 4%), so Grand Point’s 2% is ahead of 80% of Louisiana towns, while its trails per square mile lead 82% of them.
Water is 6% of Grand Point’s area (0 of 5 square miles), so every share here is of land; over land and water together, the conserved share would read 2%.
How sure. Graded on any three of the four inputs instead, the letter would range from C to B−. 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.
