Texas towns of 2,500+ (642)Ahead of 48%
Few Texas towns conserve much land (a typical one, 2%; the U.S., 4%), so Corsicana’s 2% is ahead of 54% of Texas towns, while its trails per square mile lead 39% of them.
How sure. Graded on any three of the four inputs instead, the letter would still be C+. 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.
