Outdoors grade
How much outdoors does Warren have?
On conserved land, trails, park land and how close residents live to a park, Warren is ahead of 85% of U.S. towns, #237 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.

Pennsylvania towns of 2,500+ (1,037)Ahead of 77%
Pennsylvania towns conserve more land than most (a typical one, 8%; the U.S., 4%), so Warren’s 9% is ahead of 52% of Pennsylvania towns, while its trails per square mile lead 66% of them.
Water is 5% of Warren’s area (0 of 3 square miles), so every share here is of land; over land and water together, the conserved share would read 8%.
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.
