I have lived in both. I would take Louisville for core area walkability due to the lesser traffic on the major downtown and core streets. In the lower density areas I would prefer Denver due to the well maintained sidewalks and abundent retail. Some of the areas outside of Louisville core have wide gaps between retail establishments and noticed a lack of sidewalks.

Yeah, that makes sense. Looks like a close battle so far! 3 to 3...
Denver's Walkscore: 56 (16th most walkable city in the US)
Louisville's Walkscore: 31 (44th most walkable city in the US)
I know there's more that goes into it, but overall I think Denver is more walkable.
Well, keep in mind that walk score uses city boundaries to make an average walk score. Louisville merged with its county and is more than double the area of Denver so takes in a lot of land that would be Denver's suburbs and greenspace were the same physical area equivalent tabulated.

Oh, I wasn't aware of that. 1/3 of Denver's city limits are also underdeveloped.
Just to compare the top 5 most walkable areas in each city to make it a bit more fair.
Denver:
1. Downtown- 91
2. Capital Hill- 91
3. Baker- 88
4. Five Points- 84
5. Lincoln Park- 84
As someone that used to live in Louisville, I'm surprised that Old Louisville and Highlands score as low as they do. I was expecting low-mid 80s for them.
Okay, well I don't know how else you're suppose to measure walkability
Argue and bicker like children.
You know the drill.
