How much outdoors does Bloomsburg have?
On conserved land, trails, park land and how close residents live to a park, Bloomsburg is ahead of 63% of U.S. towns, #588 of 1,037 in Pennsylvania. Trail miles hold the grade up; the share of residents near a park pulls it down.
Pennsylvania towns conserve more land than most (a typical one, 8%; the U.S., 4%), so Bloomsburg’s 5% is ahead of 34% of Pennsylvania towns, while its trails per square mile lead 76% of them.
Water is 7% of Bloomsburg’s area (0 of 5 square miles), so every share here is of land; over land and water together, the conserved share would read 4%.
