Ahead of 65% of U.S. towns · #207 of 362 in Wisconsin. What drives it
Read from the map. The page puts what stands out first.
On conserved land, trails, park land and how close residents live to a park, Sevastopol is ahead of 65% of U.S. towns, #207 of 362 in Wisconsin. Park acres per resident hold the grade up; the share of residents near a park pulls it down.
Water is more than half of Sevastopol’s area (166 of 218 square miles), so every share here is of land; over land and water together, the conserved share would read 2%.

Ahead of 65% of U.S. towns on the Outdoors grade, #207 of 362 in Wisconsin. 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.
