What's your home's "walkability score?"
Type in your address to get your home's "walkability score."
I was pleasantly surprised to find out that my home is a 78 out of 100.
Get Your Walk Score - A Walkability Score For Any Address
It's a good tool for those who are concerned about not wanting to drive everywhere when they move somewhere new. |

I'm a zero but I'm moving to a 5. I guess that's some improvement!
This is an interesting web site though.

Neat site
Went from a 17 from our address in Punta Gorda to a 59 where we are in NEOH.
Though for both addresses some of the places it said were "walkable" are not walkable.
Fun to play around with, though!!

Interesting site. However, some of the place listed as walkable aren't that desirable as far as liveable or affordable.

I love Walkscore  . We had a good discussion on the Jax forum recently about Walkscore and walkability.
My home gets a 60 out of 100, pretty good  ! |

I was actually surprised when I did my address because I found out there were stores and businesses around that I didn't even know about! |
