Ahead of 10% of U.S. towns. What drives it
How much outdoors does Lambert have?
On conserved land, trails, park land and how close residents live to a park, Lambert is ahead of 10% of U.S. towns. All four inputs are below most U.S. towns; the share of residents near a park comes closest.
Few Mississippi towns conserve much land (a typical one, 2%; the U.S., 4%), so Lambert’s under 1% is ahead of 10% of Mississippi towns, while its trails per square mile lead 7% of them.

How much outdoors does Lambert have?
