Outdoors grade

How much outdoors does Manor have?

On conserved land, trails, park land and how close residents live to a park, Manor is ahead of 57% of U.S. towns, #202 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 57%

Texas towns of 2,500+ (642)Ahead of 69%

Few Texas towns conserve much land (a typical one, 2%; the U.S., 4%), so Manor’s 1% is ahead of 45% of Texas towns, while its trails per square mile lead 83% of them.

How sure. Graded on any three of the four inputs instead, the letter would range from C+ to B+. 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.
