How much outdoors does Perry have?
On conserved land, trails, park land and how close residents live to a park, Perry is ahead of 82% of U.S. towns, #7 of 131 in Oklahoma. All four inputs are above most U.S. towns; conserved land ranks highest, trail miles lowest.
Oklahoma towns conserve more land than most (a typical one, 7%; the U.S., 4%), so Perry’s 11% is ahead of 70% of Oklahoma towns, while its trails per square mile lead 70% of them.
Water is 12% of Perry’s area (1 of 8 square miles), so every share here is of land; over land and water together, the conserved share would read 10%.
