1 views

Walk Score, a site that ranks the walkability of 2,508 neighborhoods in the 40 largest cities in the U.S., has released its rankings of the top most walkable cities.

Walk Score says the most walkable city in America is San Francisco, scoring an 86 out of a possible 100. Other cities topping the list include New York City with a score of 83 and Boston with a score of 79.

"We developed 80."

In addition to the city rankings, Walk Score lists 138 neighborhoods nationally that scored 90 or above. Tribeca, Little Italy and Soho in New York top the list with scores of 100.

"As Americans look to reduce their environmental impact and ease reliance on cars, the appeal of walkable communities continues to grow," says Christopher Leinberger of the Brookings Institution.
