New Jersey towns of 2,500+ (468)Ahead of 27%
New Jersey towns conserve more land than most (a typical one, 11%; the U.S., 4%), so Edgewater Park Township’s 6% is ahead of 32% of New Jersey towns, while its trails per square mile lead 20% of them.
Water is 5% of Edgewater Park Township’s area (0 of 3 square miles), so every share here is of land; over land and water together, the conserved share would read 6%.
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.
