Outdoors grade

How much outdoors does Anadarko have?

On conserved land, trails, park land and how close residents live to a park, Anadarko is ahead of 30% of U.S. towns, #103 of 131 in Oklahoma. All four inputs are below most U.S. towns; park acres per resident come closest.

All U.S. towns we grade (21,298)Ahead of 30%

Oklahoma towns of 2,500+ (131)Ahead of 22%

Oklahoma towns conserve more land than most (a typical one, 7%; the U.S., 4%), so Anadarko’s 2% is ahead of 18% of Oklahoma towns, while its trails per square mile lead 29% of them.

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