What kind of outdoors town is Cumberland?

Read from the map. The page puts what stands out first.

Outdoors grade

How much outdoors does Cumberland have?

On conserved land, trails, park land and how close residents live to a park, Cumberland is ahead of 81% of U.S. towns. All four inputs are above most U.S. towns; park acres per resident rank highest, conserved land lowest.

A−
OutdoorsA character grade: shown, never part of Cumberland’s overall grade.

Water is 12% of Cumberland’s area (1 of 5 square miles), so every share here is of land; over land and water together, the conserved share would read 4%.

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