This probably paints a better picture of relative "distance" between the two places in walkability though I wonder how greatly these neighborhoods vary in size.

It's probably a fairly worthwhile measure to calculate how many people live in neighborhoods with a walkscore greater than x, to fairly compare and contrast the 2. That info is available on walkscore, but it would be important to at least factor into the equation that Denver is over twice as big as Louisville, so it would be proportional.
Anecdotally speaking, I found Denver to be much more walkable than Louisville. Much more pedestrian activity, as well. And I'd venture a guess that Denver is improving at a faster rate than Louisville is as well, though I know both are making strides.

How about Downtown Louisville vs. Downtown Denver?
Louisville has the potential. The core neighborhoods have dense housing stock. However, there just isn't all that much to walk to in those neighborhoods. Nothing in Louisville compares to the urbanity of downtown Denver.
In the end, I'd bet that culture and familiarity would ultimately rank higher than walkability. What if one city is somehow more walkable, but you don't like the people? Is it worth it? There are so many factors to consider in choosing a new city/town.
