Outdoors grade

How much outdoors does Haddonfield have?

On conserved land, trails, park land and how close residents live to a park, Haddonfield is ahead of 86% of U.S. towns, #233 of 468 in New Jersey. All four inputs are above most U.S. towns; trail miles rank highest, park acres per resident lowest.

All U.S. towns we grade (21,298)Ahead of 86%
LessMore
New Jersey towns of 2,500+ (468)Ahead of 50%

New Jersey towns conserve more land than most (a typical one, 11%; the U.S., 4%), so Haddonfield’s 6% is ahead of 31% of New Jersey towns, while its trails per square mile lead 84% of them.

How sure. Graded on any three of the four inputs instead, the letter would range from A− 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.
