What kind of outdoors town is Crowley?

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

Outdoors grade

How much outdoors does Crowley have?

On conserved land, trails, park land and how close residents live to a park, Crowley is ahead of 61% of U.S. towns, #178 of 642 in Texas. Trail miles hold the grade up; conserved land pulls it down.

B
OutdoorsA character grade: shown, never part of Crowley’s overall grade.
All U.S. towns we grade (21,298)Ahead of 61%
LessMore
Texas towns of 2,500+ (642)Ahead of 72%

Few Texas towns conserve much land (a typical one, 2%; the U.S., 4%), so Crowley’s 2% is ahead of 55% of Texas towns, while its trails per square mile lead 93% of them.

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