Pennsylvania towns conserve more land than most (a typical one, 8%; the U.S., 4%), so Edgeworth’s 2% is ahead of 15% of Pennsylvania towns, while its trails per square mile lead 91% of them.
Water is 10% of Edgeworth’s area (0 of 2 square miles), so every share here is of land; over land and water together, the conserved share would read 2%.
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.
