Outdoors grade
How much outdoors does Flower Mound have?
On conserved land, trails, park land and how close residents live to a park, Flower Mound is ahead of 95% of U.S. towns, #12 of 642 in Texas. All four inputs are above most U.S. towns; conserved land ranks highest, park acres per resident lowest.

Texas towns of 2,500+ (642)Ahead of 98%
Few Texas towns conserve much land (a typical one, 2%; the U.S., 4%), so Flower Mound’s 19% is ahead of 95% of Texas towns, while its trails per square mile lead 90% of them.
Water is 6% of Flower Mound’s area (3 of 44 square miles), so every share here is of land; over land and water together, the conserved share would read 18%.
How sure. Graded on any three of the four inputs instead, the letter would range from A 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.
