How much outdoors does Summer Set have?

On conserved land, trails, park land and how close residents live to a park, Summer Set is behind most U.S. towns. All four inputs are below most U.S. towns; conserved land comes closest.

Few Missouri towns conserve much land (a typical one, 2%; the U.S., 4%), so Summer Set’s under 1% is ahead of 4% of Missouri towns, while its trails per square mile lead 6% of them.

Water is 13% of Summer Set’s area (0 of 1 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 Summer Set. 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 still be D−. 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.

Questions about parks and trails in Summer Set

How much of Summer Set is conserved land?

under 1% of its land, against a typical 2% for a Missouri town and 4% nationally (PAD-US). Conserved doesn’t always mean open to visitors: easements are usually private land.

Is there public land near Summer Set?

4,816 acres of parks and open public land lie inside Summer Set or within 10 miles of it (PAD-US), almost none of it inside the town line.

How much outdoors does Summer Set have?

Behind most U.S. towns on the Outdoors grade. The grade combines the share of land that is conserved, miles of mapped trail per square mile of land, park acres per 1,000 residents and the share of residents within a half mile of a park. It’s a character grade, so it isn’t part of the overall grade. How it works.
