Outdoors grade

How much outdoors does Senatobia have?

On conserved land, trails, park land and how close residents live to a park, Senatobia is ahead of 32% of U.S. towns, #51 of 101 in Mississippi. Trail miles hold the grade up; conserved land pulls it down.

All U.S. towns we grade (21,298)Ahead of 32%
LessMore
Mississippi towns of 2,500+ (101)Ahead of 50%

Few Mississippi towns conserve much land (a typical one, 2%; the U.S., 4%), so Senatobia’s 1% is ahead of 20% of Mississippi towns, while its trails per square mile lead 81% of them.

How sure. Graded on any three of the four inputs instead, the letter would range from C to C+. 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.
