New Jersey towns of 2,500+ (468)Ahead of 61%
New Jersey towns conserve more land than most (a typical one, 11%; the U.S., 4%), so Delran Township’s 17% is ahead of 63% of New Jersey towns, while its trails per square mile lead 44% of them.
Water is 9% of Delran Township’s area (1 of 7 square miles), so every share here is of land; over land and water together, the conserved share would read 15%.
How sure. Graded on any three of the four inputs instead, the letter would still be 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.
