Oklahoma towns conserve more land than most (a typical one, 7%; the U.S., 4%), so Snyder’s under 1% is ahead of 1% of Oklahoma towns, while its trails per square mile lead 63% of them.

NoteFew parks or trails are mapped in Snyder. 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 D. 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.

How much outdoors does Snyder have?

Ahead of 7% of 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.
