Outdoors grade

Oklahoma towns conserve more land than most (a typical one, 7%; the U.S., 4%), so Beaver’s 35% is ahead of 100% of Oklahoma towns, while its trails per square mile lead 48% of them.

NoteFew parks or trails are mapped in Beaver. 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 D to 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.
