Ahead of 17% of U.S. towns · #109 of 162 in Louisiana. What drives it
How much outdoors does St. Rose have?
On conserved land, trails, park land and how close residents live to a park, St. Rose is ahead of 17% of U.S. towns, #109 of 162 in Louisiana. All four inputs are below most U.S. towns; the share of residents near a park comes closest.
Few Louisiana towns conserve much land (a typical one, 1%; the U.S., 4%), so St. Rose’s under 1% is ahead of 21% of Louisiana towns, while its trails per square mile lead 46% of them.
Water is 14% of St. Rose’s area (1 of 8 square miles), so every share here is of land; over land and water together, the conserved share would read under 1%.
