How much outdoors does Clarksville have?
On conserved land, trails, park land and how close residents live to a park, Clarksville is ahead of 32% of U.S. towns, #411 of 642 in Texas. All four inputs are below most U.S. towns; the share of residents near a park comes closest.
Few Texas towns conserve much land (a typical one, 2%; the U.S., 4%), so Clarksville’s 1% is ahead of 42% of Texas towns, while its trails per square mile lead 44% of them.
