Outdoors grade

How much outdoors does Millersburg have?

On conserved land, trails, park land and how close residents live to a park, Millersburg is ahead of 74% of U.S. towns, #400 of 1,037 in Pennsylvania. All four inputs are above most U.S. towns; the share of residents near a park ranks highest, trail miles lowest.

B+
OutdoorsA character grade: shown, never part of Millersburg’s overall grade.
All U.S. towns we grade (21,298)Ahead of 74%
LessMore
Pennsylvania towns of 2,500+ (1,037)Ahead of 61%

Pennsylvania towns conserve more land than most (a typical one, 8%; the U.S., 4%), so Millersburg’s 5% is ahead of 33% of Pennsylvania towns, while its trails per square mile lead 47% 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.
