Outdoors grade

How much outdoors does Webster have?

On conserved land, trails, park land and how close residents live to a park, Webster is ahead of 37% of U.S. towns, #360 of 642 in Texas. The share of residents near a park holds the grade up; park acres per resident pull it down.

C+
OutdoorsA character grade: shown, never part of Webster’s overall grade.
All U.S. towns we grade (21,298)Ahead of 37%
LessMore
Texas towns of 2,500+ (642)Ahead of 44%

Few Texas towns conserve much land (a typical one, 2%; the U.S., 4%), so Webster’s 1% is ahead of 30% of Texas towns, while its trails per square mile lead 60% of them.

How sure. Graded on any three of the four inputs instead, the letter would range from C 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.
