Walkability Index
The Walkability Index measures how friendly a neighborhood is to walking. It considers factors such as the presence of sidewalks, crosswalks, safety, nearby shops, parks, and bus stops. A higher score indicates an area where people can easily walk to most places they need, promoting healthier lifestyles, reducing car dependence, and improving community connection. This index helps identify neighborhoods that encourage walking and sustainable living, making it useful for urban planning, real estate, and public health efforts.
