Read from the map. The page puts what stands out first.
How much outdoors does Dravosburg have?
On conserved land, trails, park land and how close residents live to a park, Dravosburg is ahead of 96% of U.S. towns. All four inputs are above most U.S. towns; the share of residents near a park ranks highest, park acres per resident lowest.
Pennsylvania towns conserve more land than most (a typical one, 8%; the U.S., 4%), so Dravosburg’s 9% is ahead of 54% of Pennsylvania towns, while its trails per square mile lead 94% of them.
Water is 9% of Dravosburg’s area (0 of 1 square miles), so every share here is of land; over land and water together, the conserved share would read 8%.
