Few Texas towns conserve much land (a typical one, 2%; the U.S., 4%), so Eden’s under 1% is ahead of 6% of Texas towns, while its trails per square mile lead 52% of them.
NoteFew parks or trails are mapped in Eden. OpenStreetMap is mapped by volunteers and coverage varies from town to town, so a town with unmapped parks scores low on them.
How sure. Graded on any three of the four inputs instead, the letter would range from D to 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.

Questions about parks and trails in Eden
How much of Eden is conserved land?
under 1% of its land, against a typical 2% for a Texas town and 4% nationally (PAD-US). Conserved doesn’t always mean open to visitors: easements are usually private land.
Are dogs allowed on Eden’s trails?

Is there public land near Eden?
18 acres of parks and open public land lie inside Eden or within 10 miles of it (PAD-US), 18 of them inside the city line.
How much outdoors does Eden have?
Ahead of 19% of U.S. towns on the Outdoors grade. 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.
