How much outdoors does Magnolia have?
On conserved land, trails, park land and how close residents live to a park, Magnolia is ahead of 4% of U.S. towns. All four inputs are below most U.S. towns; trail miles come closest.
Few Mississippi towns conserve much land (a typical one, 2%; the U.S., 4%), so Magnolia’s under 1% is ahead of 10% of Mississippi towns, while its trails per square mile lead 19% of them.
