I was right — my neighborhood came out as “Not Walkable.” And that was even with the application mistakenly placing a restaurant in my neighborhood that is actually several miles away! I live in Chatham County, in a part of the county that used to be rural but that is rapidly developing. So maybe before long we will move up the walkability scale. “Walkability” of course is a relative term. The grocery stores and couple of restaurants that are within a mile of us require crossing a major highway to reach, and there are no sidewalks in this area. So we may be less walkable than the application indicates. Still, it’s a fun tool–I’d include it in my suite of tools for checking out any neighborhood I might be considering in the future.

Thanks Steve. Report back to us. What did you learn about your neighborhood?
BTW, I found your website useful, too.

That’s a cool tool. Thanks for pointing me to it. I’m going to see what it says about my neighborhood, though I know already it’s going to fall between Some Walkable Locations and Not Walkable. Sad.
