Outdoors grade

How much outdoors does Eagle Point have?

On conserved land, trails, park land and how close residents live to a park, Eagle Point is ahead of 93% of U.S. towns, #16 of 142 in Oregon. All four inputs are above most U.S. towns; trail miles rank highest, park acres per resident lowest.

How sure. Graded on any three of the four inputs instead, the letter would still be 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.
