. . .Walkscore is a website that rates the walkability of your neighborhood. It takes into account whether your neighborhood has a grocery store, school, library, park, and other resources necessary to a community, and all available by just walking a fair distance rather than driving a car.
I went to the website and entered my address in San Carlos, and according to the site my neighborhood rated a 54 out of 100, which is considered Somewhat Walkable.
The number one walkable city in America is San Francisco, which beat out New York City at number two, followed by Boston and Chicago. The only thing not included in determining the walkability of a city is weather, which would definitely rank San Diego much higher than the four other locations mentioned.
Click on the link, enter your home address and see how walkable your neighborhood is, along side the other 2,500 neighborhoods in the United States.
