How much outdoors does Concord Township have?

On conserved land, trails, park land and how close residents live to a park, Concord Township is ahead of 71% of U.S. towns, #247 of 993 in Ohio. Park acres per resident hold the grade up; the share of residents near a park pulls it down.

Water is 5% of Concord Township’s area (1 of 22 square miles), so every share here is of land; over land and water together, the conserved share would read 8%.

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.
