Walk Score - How walkable is your house?

[Auggy]

Kind of surprised at mine- 67 for Waldo.  Thought it would be higher, but looking at some of the businesses they noted, seems like some of them were not very updated.

[KCFutbol]

45

[MightyKC]

Wallstreet Tower gets an 84.

[bellastagiona]

mine's only a 51/100?!?  boohiss. 

[voltopt]

My place got a 80/100.  Sweet!

[voltopt]

... And Westport Road & Mill Street gets a 97/100.  Pretty sweet!

57 for me in the garment district, although i question the accuracy since it listed "Folger Coffee Co." as a "coffeeshop" 

[anniewarbucks]

My trailer got a 46. The place that I am staying temporarily got a 66.

[TagoMago]

My place in the garment district got a 74.  So....chrizow got a 57 in the same neighborhood?

My place in the garment district got a 74.  So....chrizow got a 57 in the same neighborhood?

And I got a 60.

that's crazy...I've got some friends that live in that area and I haven't seen 3 people ever walking anywhere there.

Really?  We have a lot of friends that live in the mission/RP strip north of johnson dr and almost everytime we are down there we comment about how there are constantly people out biking/jogging/walking on every block.  It seems like one of the most outdoor fitness oriented neighborhoods in town - to an almost freakish extent.

I got a 67 at the house I grew up in at 89th and Ward Parkway... most likely because of the Mall.

[anniewarbucks]

My old home in Baileyville, KS got a 31. the score though should have been lower as the distance to some of the businesses was shorter than the actual distances.

Ranks how many neighborhood amenities are w/in walking distance.  It probably doesn't have the newest places that have opened up, especially affecting downtown.  And a category may not be important to you, like schools.  It's also inaccurate at identifying movie theaters, probably other things too.  It also can't distinguish pedestrian friendliness of the area, so a suburban strip area with many amenities surrounded by giant parking lots could score well.

My address (between Westport/Plaza) got a score of 95/100

12th/main 91
8th/broadway 74
19th/main 89
5th/delaware 77
pershing/grand 83
31st/main 75
downtown loop should hit upper 90s when P&L opens up


armor/troost 52
W39th/bell 82
39th/main 92
westport/penn 97 (highest I've found)

47th/main 95
47th/broadway 94
48th/jefferson 89
50th/main 89
63rd/brookside 68
75th/wornall 69

Denver's 16th street mall 94
StL 6th/Wash Ave 97  (but central corridor is surprisingly lower than Westport)
Minneapolis Nicollet Mall 100

[ignatius]

OOps, didn't realize there is already a thread.

So it looks like Wesport gets the highest score, followed by Plaza and then Downtown.

[mykem]

My walk score is 38. No surprise there.

Kool site, but somewhat inaccurate.

For example, The cup and saucer has been closed for 2 years but it was counted. Conversely,the New Aldis is not even listed. So I think the 65 I got is actually too low for Pendleton Heights. Anyway to tweek it?

President Bush's Crawford Ranch, Crawford, TX got a 0,
But The White House, Washington, DC got a 91. I think those are  accurate.

[Dr. Know]

I live in downtown Overland Park - 80th & Robinson & scored and 82.  I love this neighborhood - very convenient.

[Alex]

Quality Hill scored a 77 for me.

90 - 100 = Walkers' Paradise: Most errands can be accomplished on foot and many people get by without owning a car.
