Can I walk in your neighborhood?

I came across a great website this week via our very own Chris Miller: Walkscore.com.  And on this, our very own “Dump the Pump” Day, I thought it particularly appropriate.

What is ‘Walk Score?’

We help homebuyers, renters, and real estate agents find houses and apartments in great neighborhoods. Walk Score shows you a map of what’s nearby and calculates a Walk Score for any property. Buying a house in a walkable neighborhood is good for your health and good for the environment.

Well I can certainly jive with that.  So, I hop on their site, fill out some pertinent information (my address), and VIOLA… my Walk Score.  It happens to be 42 out of 100.  Below average, bum.

To help me interpret my results, I use their handy scoring chart:

  • 90 – 100 = Walkers’ Paradise: Most errands can be accomplished on foot and many people get by without owning a car.
  • 70 – 90 = Very Walkable: It’s possible to get by without owning a car.
  • 50 – 70 = Some Walkable Locations: Some stores and amenities are within walking distance, but many everyday trips still require a bike, public transportation, or car.
