South Carolina towns of 2,500+ (169)Ahead of 74%
Few South Carolina towns conserve much land (a typical one, 1%; the U.S., 4%), so Hollywood’s 6% is ahead of 85% of South Carolina towns, while its trails per square mile lead 18% of them.
Water is 5% of Hollywood’s area (1 of 25 square miles), so every share here is of land; over land and water together, the conserved share would read 6%.
How sure. Graded on any three of the four inputs instead, the letter would range from C+ to B+. 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.
