In October of 2007 I blogged about the Queen Creek Walk Score.
The Walk Score is a number between 0 and 100. The walkability of an address depends on how far you are comfortable walking—after all, everything is within walking distance if you have the time.
Here are general guidelines for interpreting your score:
90 - 100 = Walkers' Paradise: Most errands can be accomplished on foot and many people get by without owning a car.
70 - 90 = Very Walkable: It's possible to get by without owning a car.
50 - 70 = Some Walkable Locations: Some stores and amenities are within walking distance, but many everyday trips still require a bike, public transportation, or car
.25 - 50 = Not Walkable: Only a few destinations are within easy walking range. For most errands, driving or public transportation is a must.
0 - 25 = Driving Only: Virtually no neighborhood destinations within walking range. You can walk from your house to your car!
In October of 2007 the Queen Creek Walk Score using zip code 85242 was 46. We have risen to the ranks of 63! We are now somewhat walkable.
If you are interested here is the link to the Walk Score site to check your own Walk Score.
I'd love to hear your comments about the walkability of Queen Creek and the Queen Creek Area.
