How much outdoors does Hideaway have?
On conserved land, trails, park land and how close residents live to a park, Hideaway is ahead of 24% of U.S. towns, #471 of 642 in Texas. Trail miles hold the grade up; the share of residents near a park pulls it down.
Few Texas towns conserve much land (a typical one, 2%; the U.S., 4%), so Hideaway’s 1% is ahead of 35% of Texas towns, while its trails per square mile lead 100% of them.
Water is 15% of Hideaway’s area (0 of 2 square miles), so every share here is of land; over land and water together, the conserved share would read 1%.
