Ahead of 24% of U.S. towns. What drives it
Read from the map. The page puts what stands out first.
On conserved land, trails, park land and how close residents live to a park, Cleveland Township is ahead of 24% of U.S. towns. Conserved land holds 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 Cleveland Township’s 10% is ahead of 59% of Pennsylvania towns, while its trails per square mile lead 39% of them.
