Pennsylvania towns of 2,500+ (1,037)Ahead of 53%

Pennsylvania towns conserve more land than most (a typical one, 8%; the U.S., 4%), so Fermanagh Township’s 20% is ahead of 81% of Pennsylvania towns, while its trails per square mile lead 66% of them.

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.
