Determining Walkability (01-14-10)

Want to know how walkable an area is?  Go to www.walkscore.com and enter its address.  Software at the website calculates a walkability score based on the distance of the address provided from nearby amenities such as stores and coffee shops.  The site states “Walk Score measures how easy it is to live a car-lite lifestyle – not how pretty the area is for walking.”  The algorithm used to calculate a score is reported on the site.
