How much outdoors does Seabrook have?
On conserved land, trails, park land and how close residents live to a park, Seabrook is ahead of 67% of U.S. towns, #141 of 642 in Texas. The share of residents near a park holds the grade up; trail miles pull it down.
Few Texas towns conserve much land (a typical one, 2%; the U.S., 4%), so Seabrook’s 7% is ahead of 84% of Texas towns, while its trails per square mile lead 37% of them.
Water is more than half of Seabrook’s area (16 of 21 square miles), so every share here is of land; over land and water together, the conserved share would read 2%.
