Pennsylvania towns of 2,500+ (1,037)Ahead of 52%
Pennsylvania towns conserve more land than most (a typical one, 8%; the U.S., 4%), so Corry’s 7% is ahead of 45% of Pennsylvania towns, while its trails per square mile lead 73% of them.
How sure. Graded on any three of the four inputs instead, the letter would range from B to B+. 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.
