How much outdoors does Aberdeen have?

On conserved land, trails, park land and how close residents live to a park, Aberdeen is ahead of 22% of U.S. towns. All four inputs are below most U.S. towns; trail miles come closest.

Water is 17% of Aberdeen’s area (0 of 2 square miles), so every share here is of land; over land and water together, the conserved share would read 1%.

NoteFew parks or trails are mapped in Aberdeen. OpenStreetMap is mapped by volunteers and coverage varies from town to town, so a town with unmapped parks scores low on them.
How sure. Graded on any three of the four inputs instead, the letter would range from C− to C. 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.
