How much outdoors does Westmoreland have?

On conserved land, trails, park land and how close residents live to a park, Westmoreland is ahead of 7% of U.S. towns, #160 of 177 in Tennessee. All four inputs are below most U.S. towns; the share of residents near a park comes closest.

Tennessee towns of 2,500+ (177)Ahead of 10%

Few Tennessee towns conserve much land (a typical one, 1%; the U.S., 4%), so Westmoreland’s under 1% is ahead of 6% of Tennessee towns, while its trails per square mile lead 14% of them.

NoteFew parks or trails are mapped in Westmoreland. OpenStreetMap is mapped by volunteers and coverage varies from town to town, so a town with unmapped parks scores low on them.
How sure. Graded on any three of the four inputs instead, the letter would still be D. 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.
