A new calculator lets people determine how pedestrian-friendly their neighbourhoods are. The tool is effective for the health-conscious in the housing market who wants to know the fitness factors involved with their new home purchase. The site caters to residents of the United States, Canada and UK, and uses regional maps to trace the best walking routes from homes to businesses, coffee shops, restaurants, pubs, schools, libraries, parks, rec centers and more.  Your Walk Score is a number between 0 and 100. The walkability of an address depends on how far you are comfortable walking—after all, everything is within walking distance if you have the time. Here are general guidelines for interpreting your score:
* 90 - 100 = Walkers' Paradise: Most errands can be accomplished on foot and many people get by without owning a car.
* 70 - 90 = Very Walkable: It's possible to get by without owning a car.
* 50 - 70 = Some Walkable Locations: Some stores and amenities are within walking distance, but many everyday trips still require a bike, public transportation, or car.
* 25 - 50 = Not Walkable: Only a few destinations are within easy walking range. For most errands, driving or public transportation is a must.
* 0 - 25 = Driving Only: Virtually no neighborhood destinations within walking range. You can walk from your house to your car!

Yay, mine my neighborhood is 82/100, or 'very walkable!' |
