Outdoors grade
How much outdoors does Yukon have?
On conserved land, trails, park land and how close residents live to a park, Yukon is ahead of 44% of U.S. towns, #80 of 131 in Oklahoma. The share of residents near a park holds the grade up; conserved land pulls it down.

Oklahoma towns of 2,500+ (131)Ahead of 39%
Oklahoma towns conserve more land than most (a typical one, 7%; the U.S., 4%), so Yukon’s 1% is ahead of 8% of Oklahoma towns, while its trails per square mile lead 65% 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.

Where can I bike in Yukon?

Is there public land near Yukon?
7,049 acres of parks and open public land lie inside Yukon or within 10 miles of it (PAD-US), 239 of them inside the city line.
How much outdoors does Yukon have?
Ahead of 44% of U.S. towns on the Outdoors grade, #80 of 131 in Oklahoma. 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.
