Texas towns of 2,500+ (642)Ahead of 85%
Few Texas towns conserve much land (a typical one, 2%; the U.S., 4%), so Coppell’s 6% is ahead of 81% of Texas towns, while its trails per square mile lead 66% of them.
How sure. Graded on any three of the four inputs instead, the letter would range from B to A−. 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.
