Outdoors grade

How much outdoors does Warminster Township have?

On conserved land, trails, park land and how close residents live to a park, Warminster Township is ahead of 85% of U.S. towns, #229 of 1,037 in Pennsylvania. All four inputs are above most U.S. towns; the share of residents near a park ranks highest, park acres per resident lowest.

All U.S. towns we grade (21,298)Ahead of 85%
LessMore
Pennsylvania towns of 2,500+ (1,037)Ahead of 78%

Pennsylvania towns conserve more land than most (a typical one, 8%; the U.S., 4%), so Warminster Township’s 11% is ahead of 61% of Pennsylvania towns, while its trails per square mile lead 68% 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.
