On conserved land, trails, park land and how close residents live to a park, Allouez is ahead of 94% of U.S. towns, #31 of 362 in Wisconsin. All four inputs are above most U.S. towns; trail miles rank highest, park acres per resident lowest.

Water is 12% of Allouez’s area (1 of 5 square miles), so every share here is of land; over land and water together, the conserved share would read 12%.

How sure. Graded on any three of the four inputs instead, the letter would still be A. 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.
