Obviously the older the city, and the more developed it was before 1920 or so the more walkable it is gonna be. That is why I voted for NO. You can walk anywhere in the city from anywhere else just about.
1. New Orleans
2. Charleston/Savannah
3. Vegas
4. Miami
Stats will show otherwise but to me cities with large land areas (i.e LA, Houston, Dallas, Phoenix) will be less walkable as a whole compared to small cities (i.e Miami, etc) which maintain good sidewalks and higher density corridors. Parts of LA are pedestrian friendly but other parts do very poorly, same can be said for the likes of Dallas, Houston, Atlanta, San Diego.

Based on your rationale, Vegas has absolutely no business being on your list. Putting it above Miami or LA is especially hysterical. Vegas belongs in the same group as Austin, Dallas, SD, etc., with pedestrian friendly parts and suburban parts that aren't pedestrian friendly at all.

Think about this for a second. Most tourists only stay on the strip. Is the strip pedestrian friendly? Why yes it is. No one cares for the rest of Vegas outside the strip, where 95% of Vegas's action is. In LA, Dallas, etc all the attractions are spread out across the city making it necessary to own a car to go from one place to another.

How about not thinking from the standpoint of a tourist and start thinking about the actual people that live there? 95% of Las Vegas DOES NOT live on the strip but in sprawling single family homes. Do they walk to work at a casino 8 miles from home??? They don't live in Ceasar's Palace, but in single family homes. They certainly don't go grocery shopping on the strip, buy their clothing on the strip, etc... The strip is for working and tourists, but day to day life in Las Vegas is in the sprawling communities surrounding the strip.
Miami is on here twice lol. San Diego for sure, the weather makes it better to walk around in more so than any humid, hot southeastern cities, which also have freezes that make walking around unpleasant.
