How much outdoors does Keyport have?
On conserved land, trails, park land and how close residents live to a park, Keyport is ahead of 68% of U.S. towns, #355 of 468 in New Jersey. The share of residents near a park holds the grade up; park acres per resident pull it down.
New Jersey towns conserve more land than most (a typical one, 11%; the U.S., 4%), so Keyport’s 2% is ahead of 10% of New Jersey towns, while its trails per square mile lead 52% of them.
Water is 5% of Keyport’s area (0 of 1 square miles), so every share here is of land; over land and water together, the conserved share would read 2%.
