What is your Walk Score?

 

How walkable is your house? Find out with Walk Score, which quickly calculates  the walkability of an address by locating nearby stores, restaurants, schools, parks, etc. Walk Score looks at the following:

• The distance to walkable locations near an address.
• Calculating a score for each of these locations.
• Combining these scores into one easy to read Walk Score.

Simply type in your address and it puts it on a Google map and gives it a score. 70 to 90 is very walkable; 90 to a hundred is a walker’s paradise. We live in a pretty walkable community and only scored a 65. I question how far they consider walkable, however, it is still a great tool to get people thinking about their community in a different way.
