Outdoors grade

How much outdoors does Wagoner have?

On conserved land, trails, park land and how close residents live to a park, Wagoner is ahead of 53% of U.S. towns, #61 of 131 in Oklahoma. Conserved land holds the grade up; park acres per resident pull it down.

All U.S. towns we grade (21,298)Ahead of 53%
LessMore
Oklahoma towns of 2,500+ (131)Ahead of 54%

Oklahoma towns conserve more land than most (a typical one, 7%; the U.S., 4%), so Wagoner’s 15% is ahead of 82% of Oklahoma towns, while its trails per square mile lead 51% of them.

How sure. Graded on any three of the four inputs instead, the letter would range from C+ to B. 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.
