Pennsylvania towns conserve more land than most (a typical one, 8%; the U.S., 4%), so Langhorne’s 12% is ahead of 65% of Pennsylvania towns, while its trails per square mile lead 89% of them.
How sure. Graded on any three of the four inputs instead, the letter would range from A 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.
