Outdoors grade

How much outdoors does Camp Hill have?

On conserved land, trails, park land and how close residents live to a park, Camp Hill is ahead of 75% of U.S. towns, #393 of 1,037 in Pennsylvania. The share of residents near a park holds the grade up; park acres per resident pull it down.

All U.S. towns we grade (21,298)Ahead of 75%
LessMore
Pennsylvania towns of 2,500+ (1,037)Ahead of 62%

Pennsylvania towns conserve more land than most (a typical one, 8%; the U.S., 4%), so Camp Hill’s 6% is ahead of 42% of Pennsylvania towns, while its trails per square mile lead 67% of them.

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