Few West Virginia towns conserve much land (a typical one, 2%; the U.S., 4%), so Ceredo’s 1% is ahead of 31% of West Virginia towns, while its trails per square mile lead 2% of them.
Water is 36% of Ceredo’s area (1 of 2 square miles), so every share here is of land; over land and water together, the conserved share would read 1%.
NoteFew parks or trails are mapped in Ceredo. OpenStreetMap is mapped by volunteers and coverage varies from town to town, so a town with unmapped parks scores low on them.
How sure. Graded on any three of the four inputs instead, the letter would range from D to C+. 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.
