Outdoors grade

How much outdoors does Hahnville have?

Louisiana towns of 2,500+ (162)Ahead of 52%

Few Louisiana towns conserve much land (a typical one, 1%; the U.S., 4%), so Hahnville’s under 1% is ahead of 17% of Louisiana towns, while its trails per square mile lead 98% of them.

Water is 15% of Hahnville’s area (1 of 7 square miles), so every share here is of land; over land and water together, the conserved share would read under 1%.

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.
