What's the walk-score of where you live?

[ilovelondon]

The vast majority of London will have a walk score of 100, with its numerous town centres scattered throughout the city. Two-thirds of London's almost 9 million residents live within a 5-minute walk of their local high street (source). That's roughly about 6 million people!

I do miss London for its walkability score. Even better Paris or Amsterdam. Perth, the Australian city where I find myself at the moment, would have one of the lowest walkability scores of anywhere. Dismal in the extreme for people like me that value such things. A simple short walk here usually involves a car journey meaning foot traffic is at a minimum outside of the very centre.
Even living inner city as I do, while better, rated one of the highest walkability scores in Perth, still leaves a lot to be desired for.

My place, between France and Luxembourg, should be around -1 -10. Luxembourg city itself around 0.

my street gets a 84.


Then again I don't think it's walkers' paradise considering the state of the streets, how fast cars go, and how much you have to wait for the streetlight to turn green at some intersections (and then run to cross the street because it quickly gets green for cars again).


My parents place in France only gets a 58 as it's a suburban area, but it's nicer to walk there. It's just a small suburban town compared to a peripheral neighborhood of a large city.

My address gets 100 and no I'm not surprised.

89, most of everything one could need is within walking distance.

90 in a community just outside of downtown Vancouver, walk and bike frequently to run errands. Used to live in a place with a 57 Walk Score and I never once biked, took a bus or walked anywhere. I think that confirmed the metric's accuracy for me...
