How much outdoors does Green Hill have?
On conserved land, trails, park land and how close residents live to a park, Green Hill is ahead of 17% of U.S. towns, #144 of 177 in Tennessee. Conserved land holds the grade up; park acres per resident pull it down.
Few Tennessee towns conserve much land (a typical one, 1%; the U.S., 4%), so Green Hill’s 19% is ahead of 95% of Tennessee towns, while its trails per square mile lead 5% of them.
Water is 12% of Green Hill’s area (0 of 4 square miles), so every share here is of land; over land and water together, the conserved share would read 16%.
