Texas towns of 2,500+ (642)Ahead of 79%
Few Texas towns conserve much land (a typical one, 2%; the U.S., 4%), so Oak Point’s 15% is ahead of 93% of Texas towns, while its trails per square mile lead 7% of them.
Water is 5% of Oak Point’s area (0 of 6 square miles), so every share here is of land; over land and water together, the conserved share would read 14%.
How sure. Graded on any three of the four inputs instead, the letter would range from B− 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.
