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.

(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.
