How much outdoors does Holiday Lakes have?
On conserved land, trails, park land and how close residents live to a park, Holiday Lakes is ahead of 12% of U.S. towns. 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 Holiday Lakes’ under 1% is ahead of 6% of Texas towns, while its trails per square mile lead 84% of them.
Water is 10% of Holiday Lakes’ area (0 of 1 square miles), so every share here is of land; over land and water together, the conserved share would read under 1%.
