How much outdoors does Everett have?
On conserved land, trails, park land and how close residents live to a park, Everett is ahead of 69% of U.S. towns. Trail miles hold the grade up; park acres per resident pull it down.
Pennsylvania towns conserve more land than most (a typical one, 8%; the U.S., 4%), so Everett’s 2% is ahead of 13% of Pennsylvania towns, while its trails per square mile lead 100% of them.
Water is 7% of Everett’s area (0 of 1 square miles), so every share here is of land; over land and water together, the conserved share would read 2%.
