Behind most U.S. towns. What drives it
How much outdoors does Mikes have?
On conserved land, trails, park land and how close residents live to a park, Mikes is behind most U.S. towns. All four inputs are below most U.S. towns; conserved land comes closest.
Few Texas towns conserve much land (a typical one, 2%; the U.S., 4%), so Mikes’ under 1% is ahead of 6% of Texas towns, while its trails per square mile lead 7% of them.

Questions about parks and trails in Mikes
How much of Mikes is conserved land?
under 1% of its land, against a typical 2% for a Texas town and 4% nationally (PAD-US). Conserved doesn’t always mean open to visitors: easements are usually private land.

24 acres of parks and open public land lie inside Mikes or within 10 miles of it (PAD-US), almost none of it inside the town line.
How much outdoors does Mikes have?
Behind most U.S. towns on the Outdoors grade. The grade combines the share of land that is conserved, miles of mapped trail per square mile of land, park acres per 1,000 residents and the share of residents within a half mile of a park. It’s a character grade, so it isn’t part of the overall grade. How it works.
