OKC’s Walkability Score

Monday, July 21st, 2008

Well, we aren’t at the very last place, but we are #36 our of 40 large cities ranked at http://walkscore.com/rankings/most-walkable-cities.php for our walkability factor.  Our score is 43, the #1 city is San Francisco with a score of 83.

My neighborhood, Gatewood, at least is ranked as “somewhat walkable”, with a walk score of 68 out of 100.  When you type in your address at the website, it gives you a score for your neighborhood, and it also gives you the distances between your house and various neighborhood amenities like parks, grocery stores, libraries, bars, etc.
