How much outdoors does Tolar have?

Few Texas towns conserve much land (a typical one, 2%; the U.S., 4%), so Tolar’s under 1% is ahead of 6% of Texas towns, while its trails per square mile lead 7% of them.

NoteFew parks or trails are mapped in Tolar. 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 still be D−. 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.

Questions about parks and trails in Tolar

How much of Tolar 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.

Is there public land near Tolar?

365 acres of parks and open public land lie inside Tolar or within 10 miles of it (PAD-US), almost none of it inside the city line.

How much outdoors does Tolar 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.
