How much outdoors does Savannah have?
On conserved land, trails, park land and how close residents live to a park, Savannah is ahead of 75% of U.S. towns, #35 of 247 in Missouri. All four inputs are above most U.S. towns; trail miles rank highest, the share of residents near a park lowest.
Few Missouri towns conserve much land (a typical one, 2%; the U.S., 4%), so Savannah’s 4% is ahead of 76% of Missouri towns, while its trails per square mile lead 97% of them.
