Outdoors grade

How much outdoors does Wilsonville have?

On conserved land, trails, park land and how close residents live to a park, Wilsonville is ahead of 89% of U.S. towns, #26 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 range from A− 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.
