And though my Walk Score is 98, if you take the walk score of the point about 500 feet to the southwest of my address (half a block south, and one block west), you get a Walk Score of 100!
"Only" 1 mile? A mile is a lot. How are the bike lanes and paths in your immediate area? That's what these scores measure. Not stuff a mile away.
There are bike lanes as well as bike paths in parks to the east and west. If something 1 mile away isn't in your immediate area then what is? A mile is a long walk but it's an awfully short bike ride to the park and over to the lake.
Wow that site is WAY off for my little town. Has businesses listed as grocery stores that are antique shops, auction houses, and gas stations. Restaurants listed that are miles away, but no mention of the ones that are within a couple blocks (and have been there for 20+ years). Not one single category is even close to being correct.
What is my walk score? Good question, that isn't answered anywhere I can find online.
BTW Mr. Vincent, do you live on a subway platform? I live two blocks from a major subway station and I only got an 82 score for that?
The front door of my building is a 20-30 second walk from a subway entrance. I also have a frequent overnight bus route that passes within a 1 minute walk of my building (the nearest stop is about a 3 minute walk from my building). Even at 3am there is a bus passing by in each direction on that route every 10 minutes or so.
