Few Mississippi towns conserve much land (a typical one, 2%; the U.S., 4%), so Wade’s under 1% is ahead of 5% of Mississippi towns, while its trails per square mile lead 7% of them.
NoteFew parks or trails are mapped in Wade. OpenStreetMap is mapped by volunteers and coverage varies from town to town, so a town with unmapped parks scores low on them.
How sure. Graded on any three of the four inputs instead, the letter would still be D−. 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.

Questions about parks and trails in Wade
How much of Wade 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.
Are dogs allowed on Wade’s trails?
Pascagoula River State Wildlife Management Area doesn’t have dog rules recorded on the map; check the signs at the trailhead.
Is there public land near Wade?
230 acres of parks and open public land lie inside Wade or within 10 miles of it (PAD-US), almost none of it inside the town line.
How much outdoors does Wade 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.
