What Does my Score Mean?

Your Walk Score is a number between 0 and 100. Here are general guidelines for interpreting your score:

*90-100 = Walkers' Paradise: Most errands can be accomplished on foot and many people get by without owning a car.
*70-89 = Very Walkable: It's possible to get by without owning a car.
*50-69 = Somewhat Walkable: Some stores and amenities are within walking distance, but many everyday trips still require a bike, public transportation, or car.
*25-49 = Car-Dependent: Only a few destinations are within easy walking range. For most errands, driving or public transportation is a must.
*0-24 = Car-Dependent (Driving Only): Virtually no neighborhood destinations within walking range. You can walk from your house to your car!

I hope that everyone enjoys the new site. This is a work in progress but is wel worth it.
