How much outdoors does Winfield have?
On conserved land, trails, park land and how close residents live to a park, Winfield is ahead of 16% of U.S. towns. The share of residents near a park holds the grade up; conserved land pulls it down.
Few West Virginia towns conserve much land (a typical one, 2%; the U.S., 4%), so Winfield’s under 1% is ahead of 6% of West Virginia towns, while its trails per square mile lead 8% of them.
Water is 10% of Winfield’s area (0 of 3 square miles), so every share here is of land; over land and water together, the conserved share would read under 1%.
