How much outdoors does New Eagle have?
On conserved land, trails, park land and how close residents live to a park, New Eagle is ahead of 35% of U.S. towns. The share of residents near a park holds the grade up; trail miles pull it down.
Pennsylvania towns conserve more land than most (a typical one, 8%; the U.S., 4%), so New Eagle’s 2% is ahead of 10% of Pennsylvania towns, while its trails per square mile lead 3% of them.
Water is 9% of New Eagle’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%.
