Behind most U.S. towns. What drives it
How much outdoors does Daniels have?
On conserved land, trails, park land and how close residents live to a park, Daniels is behind most U.S. towns. All four inputs are below most U.S. towns; conserved land comes closest.
Few West Virginia towns conserve much land (a typical one, 2%; the U.S., 4%), so Daniels’ under 1% is ahead of 6% of West Virginia towns, while its trails per square mile lead 2% of them.

Questions about parks and trails in Daniels
How much of Daniels is conserved land?
under 1% of its land, against a typical 2% for a West Virginia town and 4% nationally (PAD-US). Conserved doesn’t always mean open to visitors: easements are usually private land.
Is there public land near Daniels?
21,118 acres of parks and open public land lie inside Daniels or within 10 miles of it (PAD-US), almost none of it inside the town line.
How much outdoors does Daniels have?
Behind most U.S. towns on the Outdoors grade. 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.
