Outdoors grade

How much outdoors does Beavercreek have?

On conserved land, trails, park land and how close residents live to a park, Beavercreek is ahead of 63% of U.S. towns, #358 of 993 in Ohio. All four inputs are above most U.S. towns; the share of residents near a park ranks highest, trail miles lowest.

How sure. Graded on any three of the four inputs instead, the letter would still be B. 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.
