Outdoors grade

How much outdoors does Davis have?

On conserved land, trails, park land and how close residents live to a park, Davis is ahead of 68% of U.S. towns, #23 of 131 in Oklahoma. Park acres per resident hold the grade up; trail miles pull it down.

All U.S. towns we grade (21,298)Ahead of 68%

Oklahoma towns of 2,500+ (131)Ahead of 83%

Oklahoma towns conserve more land than most (a typical one, 7%; the U.S., 4%), so Davis’ 13% is ahead of 77% of Oklahoma towns, while its trails per square mile lead 23% of them.

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.
