LessMore
Pennsylvania towns conserve more land than most (a typical one, 8%; the U.S., 4%), so Shinglehouse’s 9% is ahead of 52% of Pennsylvania towns, while its trails per square mile lead 78% of them.
How sure. Graded on any three of the four inputs instead, the letter would still be 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.
