How walkable is your neighborhood?


Walk Score helps people find walkable places to live. Walk Score calculates the walkability of an address by locating nearby stores, restaurants, schools, parks, etc.

My neighborhood scored 34 out of 100, which is awful, and they didn’t even take into account that there are no sidewalks! Link -via Reddit

77/100. (Moving my address 2 1/2 blocks raised my score by 9 points.) They did the same thing for me regarding the adult book store/movie theater. Eric, you don't live in Denver by any chance, do you?

I got a 34 too, and I live in a Beaver Cleaverish neighborhood. But that's sort of the problem. Note what they say: "Walk Score helps people find walkable places to live. Walk Score calculates the walkability of an address by locating nearby stores, restaurants, schools, parks, etc." They're not judging places by whether they're safe or pleasant to walk in, but on whether you can function in the neighborhood without having a car.

I got an 82 - very walkable. And they didn't even count the psychic/palm reader right behind my house. How many people can walk to a palm reading, I ask you...
