Outdoors grade

How much outdoors does Guymon have?

On conserved land, trails, park land and how close residents live to a park, Guymon is ahead of 66% of U.S. towns, #30 of 131 in Oklahoma. The share of residents near a park holds the grade up; park acres per resident pull it down.

B+
OutdoorsA character grade: shown, never part of Guymon’s overall grade.
All U.S. towns we grade (21,298)Ahead of 66%
LessMore
Oklahoma towns of 2,500+ (131)Ahead of 78%

Oklahoma towns conserve more land than most (a typical one, 7%; the U.S., 4%), so Guymon’s 5% is ahead of 39% of Oklahoma towns, while its trails per square mile lead 75% of them.

How sure. Graded on any three of the four inputs instead, the letter would range from B 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.
