Oklahoma towns of 2,500+ (131)Ahead of 87%
Oklahoma towns conserve more land than most (a typical one, 7%; the U.S., 4%), so Stilwell’s 14% is ahead of 78% of Oklahoma towns, while its trails per square mile lead 67% of them.
How sure. Graded on any three of the four inputs instead, the letter would range from B to A−. 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.
