OutdoorsA character grade: shown, never part of Enosburgh’s overall grade.
All U.S. towns we grade (21,298)Ahead of 58%
LessMore
Vermont towns of 2,500+ (71)Ahead of 9%

Vermont towns conserve more land than most (a typical one, 14%; the U.S., 4%), so Enosburgh’s 14% is ahead of 51% of Vermont towns, while its trails per square mile lead 0% 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.
