Few Texas towns conserve much land (a typical one, 2%; the U.S., 4%), so Pantego’s 1% is ahead of 44% of Texas towns, while its trails per square mile lead 7% of them.

NoteFew parks or trails are mapped in Pantego. OpenStreetMap is mapped by volunteers and coverage varies from town to town, so a town with unmapped parks scores low on them.
How sure. Graded on any three of the four inputs instead, the letter would range from D 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.
