Pennsylvania towns conserve more land than most (a typical one, 8%; the U.S., 4%), so Nescopeck’s 1% is ahead of 7% of Pennsylvania towns, while its trails per square mile lead 20% of them.
Water is 15% of Nescopeck’s area (0 of 1 square miles), so every share here is of land; over land and water together, the conserved share would read 1%.
How sure. Graded on any three of the four inputs instead, the letter would range from C− to C+. 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.
