Montana towns of 2,500+ (42)Ahead of 24%
Montana towns conserve more land than most (a typical one, 10%; the U.S., 4%), so Wolf Point’s 4% is ahead of 22% of Montana towns, while its trails per square mile lead 17% of them.
How sure. Graded on any three of the four inputs instead, the letter would range from C+ to B+. 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.
