What kind of outdoors town is Euless?

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

Outdoors grade

How much outdoors does Euless have?

On conserved land, trails, park land and how close residents live to a park, Euless is ahead of 76% of U.S. towns, #81 of 642 in Texas. The share of residents near a park holds the grade up; park acres per resident pull it down.

All U.S. towns we grade (21,298)Ahead of 76%
LessMore
Texas towns of 2,500+ (642)Ahead of 88%

Few Texas towns conserve much land (a typical one, 2%; the U.S., 4%), so Euless’ 6% is ahead of 81% of Texas towns, while its trails per square mile lead 74% 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.
