How much outdoors does Corinth have?
On conserved land, trails, park land and how close residents live to a park, Corinth is ahead of 36% of U.S. towns, #43 of 101 in Mississippi. Conserved land holds the grade up; the share of residents near a park pulls it down.
Few Mississippi towns conserve much land (a typical one, 2%; the U.S., 4%), so Corinth’s 4% is ahead of 66% of Mississippi towns, while its trails per square mile lead 69% of them.
