New Hampshire towns of 2,500+ (126)#126 of 126
New Hampshire towns conserve more land than most (a typical one, 19%; the U.S., 4%), so Campton’s 11% is ahead of 19% of New Hampshire towns, while its trails per square mile lead 13% 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.
