Denver ranked America’s 10th most walkable city
According to The Denver Business Journal and Walkscore.com, Denver is our countries 10th most walkable city. Walkscore.com uses a mathematical formula to evaluate how easy it is to navigate a given neighborhood on foot, using such factors as distance to stores, restaurants, schools and parks from various points in each neighborhood.
Neighborhoods are scored from an upper range of 90-100 (“walkers’ paradise”), where most errands can be accomplished on foot and many people get by without owning a car, to a lower range of 0-24 (“car-dependent”), where virtually no neighborhood destinations are within walking range.
The report said Denver has four “walkers’ paradise” neighborhoods: Lower Downtown (with a score of 97), Golden Triangle (96), Capitol Hill (93) and Cherry Creek (90).
In the next tier — scoring 80 and above — are Baker (89), Alamo Placita (87), Five Points (87), City Park (85) and Highland (79).
