What kind of outdoors town is Woodbury?

Read from the map. The page puts what stands out first.

Outdoors grade

How much outdoors does Woodbury have?

On conserved land, trails, park land and how close residents live to a park, Woodbury is ahead of 66% of U.S. towns, #21 of 177 in Tennessee. All four inputs are above most U.S. towns; park acres per resident rank highest, conserved land lowest.

All U.S. towns we grade (21,298)Ahead of 66%
LessMore
Tennessee towns of 2,500+ (177)Ahead of 89%

Few Tennessee towns conserve much land (a typical one, 1%; the U.S., 4%), so Woodbury’s 4% is ahead of 73% of Tennessee towns, while its trails per square mile lead 76% of them.

How sure. Graded on any three of the four inputs instead, the letter would range from B 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.

Is there public land near Woodbury?

How much outdoors does Woodbury have?

Ahead of 66% of U.S. towns on the Outdoors grade, #21 of 177 in Tennessee. The grade combines the share of land that is conserved, miles of mapped trail per square mile of land, park acres per 1,000 residents and the share of residents within a half mile of a park. It’s a character grade, so it isn’t part of the overall grade. How it works.
