Oklahoma towns conserve more land than most (a typical one, 7%; the U.S., 4%), so Toppers’ under 1% is ahead of 6% of Oklahoma towns, while its trails per square mile lead 83% of them.
Water is 30% of Toppers’ area (1 of 3 square miles), so every share here is of land; over land and water together, the conserved share would read under 1%.
NoteFew parks or trails are mapped in Toppers. 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 C−. 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.
