Without digging in to the numbers further than just looking at this map, could this be because the relative areas of the factors you listed didn't pass a threshold to make it? @ezmack what data source was used for this?

Not OP, but I'd think cemeteries should outweigh golf courses in land area.

Feel free to prove me wrong though.
