Why publish the ParkScore index?

Today, 100 million Americans don’t have a park within a 10-minute walk of home. We have the most comprehensive data on park access for almost every city and town in the United States—and we’re using it to pinpoint the neighborhoods where parks are needed most.

How do we calculate the scores?
