Outdoors grade

How much outdoors does Pine Hill have?

On conserved land, trails, park land and how close residents live to a park, Pine Hill is ahead of 78% of U.S. towns, #291 of 468 in New Jersey. The share of residents near a park holds the grade up; park acres per resident pull it down.

All U.S. towns we grade (21,298)Ahead of 78%
LessMore
New Jersey towns of 2,500+ (468)Ahead of 38%

New Jersey towns conserve more land than most (a typical one, 11%; the U.S., 4%), so Pine Hill’s 2% is ahead of 12% of New Jersey towns, while its trails per square mile lead 91% of them.

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.
