Data Source: Trust for Public Land (TPL) ParkScore Analysis

Calculation Method: The ParkScore is assessed by the Trust for Public Land Survey and Analysis. The areas that make up the ParkScore categories include adequate acreage in proportion to a city’s population, services/amenities and investment, and parkland access. The ParkScore Ranking is based on a comparison of 100 participating cities in the United States, and a city’s ranking is based on a composite of their raw score in each category. The higher the score, the lower the ranking number you are on the list of 100 cities. The most desirable ranking on the list is one, currently Austin is ranked 43 out of 100.
