Behind most U.S. towns. What drives it
How much outdoors does Fayette have?
On conserved land, trails, park land and how close residents live to a park, Fayette is behind most U.S. towns. All four inputs are below most U.S. towns; conserved land comes closest.
Few Mississippi towns conserve much land (a typical one, 2%; the U.S., 4%), so Fayette’s under 1% is ahead of 5% of Mississippi towns, while its trails per square mile lead 7% of them.

Questions about parks and trails in Fayette
How much of Fayette is conserved land?
under 1% of its land, against a typical 2% for a Mississippi town and 4% nationally (PAD-US). Conserved doesn’t always mean open to visitors: easements are usually private land.

380 acres of parks and open public land lie inside Fayette or within 10 miles of it (PAD-US), almost none of it inside the city line.
How much outdoors does Fayette 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.
