Walk Score

Posted on July 29, 2007 Written by Diane

There’s a website named Walk Score, which rates how walkable your house is. That is, “Walk Score calculates the walkability of an address by locating nearby stores, restaurants, schools, parks, etc.”

Yes, the downside is typing your address in. However, I tried an intersection fairly near my house, and that worked just fine.

My house rated 60. (The intersection rated 69. What a few feet can do…)

    68 for the apartment, 85 for the intersection one block down

    It has rather liberal ideas of what fits the general categories.
