Tennessee towns of 2,500+ (177)Ahead of 6%
Few Tennessee towns conserve much land (a typical one, 1%; the U.S., 4%), so White Bluff’s under 1% is ahead of 6% of Tennessee towns, while its trails per square mile lead 18% of them.
NoteFew parks or trails are mapped in White Bluff. 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 range from D− to 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.
