Behind most U.S. towns. What drives it
How much outdoors does Jay have?
On conserved land, trails, park land and how close residents live to a park, Jay is behind most U.S. towns. All four inputs are below most U.S. towns; conserved land comes closest.
Oklahoma towns conserve more land than most (a typical one, 7%; the U.S., 4%), so Jay’s under 1% is ahead of 1% of Oklahoma towns, while its trails per square mile lead 5% of them.

Questions about parks and trails in Jay
How much of Jay is conserved land?
under 1% of its land, against a typical 7% for an Oklahoma town and 4% nationally (PAD-US). Conserved doesn’t always mean open to visitors: easements are usually private land.
Is there public land near Jay?
121 acres of parks and open public land lie inside Jay or within 10 miles of it (PAD-US), almost none of it inside the city line.
How much outdoors does Jay have?
Behind most U.S. towns on the Outdoors grade. The grade combines the share of land that is conserved, miles of mapped trail per square mile of land, park acres per 1,000 residents and the share of residents within a half mile of a park. It’s a character grade, so it isn’t part of the overall grade. How it works.
