How is the walkability score calculated?
We put a point every quarter mile across each city or neighborhood boundary and count the everyday places within 0.6 miles in a straight line (about a 15-minute walk, or three-quarters of a mile on streets): grocery store 25 points, restaurants 15 (full points for five or more), parks, trails or beaches 15, a bus or train stop 15, coffee 10, pharmacy 10, library 5, gym 5. The area score is the average of its points, so large parks, lakes and industrial land count too.
Where does the data come from?
Places: Overture Maps Foundation places, release 2026-10-21.0 (overturemaps.org). Transit stops: Metro Transit and MVTA GTFS schedule data (metrotransit.org, mvta.com). Businesses open and close, so we refresh the data every few months.
Places only: this ranks how close everyday places are, not who lives anywhere. Every home's page on this site lists the grocery store, park, transit stop and more nearest that address. Updated 2026-11-09.
