Oklahoma towns of 2,500+ (131)Ahead of 5%

Oklahoma towns conserve more land than most (a typical one, 7%; the U.S., 4%), so Fairview’s under 1% is ahead of 1% of Oklahoma towns, while its trails per square mile lead 18% of them.

NoteFew parks or trails are mapped in Fairview. 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 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.
