New Jersey towns of 2,500+ (468)Ahead of 80%
New Jersey towns conserve more land than most (a typical one, 11%; the U.S., 4%), so Harrington Park’s 14% is ahead of 57% of New Jersey towns, while its trails per square mile lead 66% of them.
Water is 11% of Harrington Park’s area (0 of 2 square miles), so every share here is of land; over land and water together, the conserved share would read 12%.
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.
