Montana towns of 2,500+ (42)Ahead of 51%
Montana towns conserve more land than most (a typical one, 10%; the U.S., 4%), so Livingston’s 9% is ahead of 46% of Montana towns, while its trails per square mile lead 59% of them.
How sure. Graded on any three of the four inputs instead, the letter would range from B+ to A. 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.
